The world’s most difficult road to build, why are there 17,000 skeletons buried under the roadbed?

The most difficult road to repair in the world is the M56 Kolyma Highway in Russia. Basically, the workers who came to repair the road were caused by the cold weather in the area at that time, coupled with overwork and malnutrition. We know that it is really difficult to build this road, because many equipment cannot be brought in and can only be repaired by pure labor. In addition, the local environment is very harsh and the weather is extremely cold, so many people cannot bear it.

Under such an environment, basically all the first batch of road construction workers died, and there was no way to dispose of the bodies, so they had to be buried on the spot, so there were all kinds of people under the road. They are the bones of the dead. Later, prisoners from all over the country were sent to build this road. Many people died, and during the process of building the road, many bones were constantly excavated. Everyone was used to it, and it was like this in the harsh environment. It took a full 21 years to complete the construction under such conditions.

Listening to this terrible number, you will know how difficult it was to build this road at that time. Everyone knows that the weather in Russia is relatively cold, and most people cannot bear it, especially in areas where roads are being built. It is said that the lowest temperature can reach minus 70 degrees. It is estimated that they will freeze to death within a few days, so some people died on that day. People, what is the concept of minus 70 degrees? You can imagine that in Northeast China, more than minus 20 degrees is unbearable. How to keep out the cold at 70 degrees.

So when the road was built later, no road construction workers were willing to go. It would really cost money and life, so the government had no choice but to send prisoners there. So after these prisoners died, they were buried directly under the highway without anything. As a result, there are now 17,000 skeletons buried under the highway.
