View of Tiazhin Bridge Spans, 1909. Creator: Dorozhno-Stroitel'nyi Otdel
View of Tiazhin Bridge Spans, 1909. Photographs documenting various stages in the construction of dirt roads in the Tomsk region by workers and engineers of the road-building department of the Russian Resettlement Administration. The albums date from 1906-8 and 1909. The Russian state paid for the construction of roads such as those depicted in the albums in order to connect settlers with a railroad line, a navigable river, or commercial-industrial centers. The overall purpose of the road-building program was to promote the colonization of the taiga (moist coniferous forest regions) of Siberia. The albums show the construction of roads in the region between the main line of the Trans-Siberian Railroad and the Chet and Kandat Rivers in Tomsk gubernia (governorate).

EDITORS COMMENTS
View of Tiazhin Bridge Spans, 1909: A Pivotal Moment in Siberia's Colonization This photograph captures the Tiazhin Bridge Spans under construction in 1909, as documented by the Dorozhno-Stroitel'nyi Otdel (Road-Building Department) of the Russian Resettlement Administration. The image is part of a series of photographs that chronicle the construction of dirt roads in the Tomsk region, connecting settlers with transportation networks and commercial-industrial centers. The Russian government initiated this road-building program in the early 20th century to promote the colonization of Siberia's taiga (moist coniferous forest regions). The construction of roads like these played a crucial role in connecting settlers with the Trans-Siberian Railroad, navigable rivers, and commercial centers. This photograph was taken near the Chet' and Kandat Rivers in Tomsk gubernia (governorate). The overall purpose of the road-building program was to facilitate the movement of people and goods, thereby promoting the development of this frontier region. The image showcases a group of men working on the bridge, with the wooden structure of the bridge spans visible in the background. The meeting of the rivers and the surrounding landscape is a testament to the challenging yet rewarding nature of the construction project. The photograph is a significant historical document, providing a glimpse into the past and the efforts made to connect the vast expanses of Siberia with the rest of Russia.
