History of road transport organization in the Kemerovo region in 1946-1965
The purpose of the article is to analyze the history of the organization of road transport in the post-war period in the Kemerovo region. The development of transportation organization in the Kemerovo region is highlighted. The organization of road transport in the Kemerovo region in 1946-1965 is studied. The comparative-historical method is used. The authors rely only on the analysis of the source base (archival data, statistical materials, periodicals). The conclusion is made that by the mid-1960s a developed network of roads was created in the Kemerovo region. The transportation was both passengers and cargo. Gradually, the roads in the Kemerovo region became the best in the country and among neighboring regions. Due to the fact that the road surface was subject to inevitable natural wear and tear, and also experienced the pressure of moving vehicles, there was a need to regularly maintain the working condition of the roads. For this, specialized enterprises were created, to which a certain share of the road fund was transferred for maintenance. The repair of roads was carried out by specialized enterprises. Three stages in this problem are identified: stage I: 1946-1950: road construction was practically not carried out, as there was a transition to peaceful rails and economic recovery; stage II: 1951-1960: active road construction, during which the main routes were built, which are still in operation today; stage III: 1961-1965: this period of time became stabilizing, as there were no changes in the construction of roads, but only their improvement.
