OUTLOOK ON SOME TRANSPORT PROBLEMS OF BELARUS

In the former Soviet Union, the central government owned and operated the transportation system of the Belorussian SSR and used it primarily to serve the economic needs of the entire country. Because of the Belorussian generally flat landscape and its location, building a transportation system there did not entail the difficulties of building on rugged terrain, over permafrost, or in remote areas far from industrial centers.

Railroads were the premier mode of transportation in Belarus. Minsk is a major railroad junction, located on the lines connecting the Baltic states with Ukraine to the south and the line connecting Moscow with Warsaw to the west.

Belarus's railroads accelerated industrial development and, in wartime, played a significant military role. The country's railroads continued to play a major role in the early years of independent Belarus and nowadays. They moved raw materials, manufactured goods, country's bulk cargo and passengers over long hauls.

As automotive transport is not generally used for long hauls, many roads outside urban areas have gravel or dirt surfaces, especially in the more remote rural areas. The lack of paved roads in these rural areas seriously hampers the movement of agricultural products and supplies. Only few years ago there were no expressways or major national highways. Nowadays the situation is rapidly changing. The scale of road building is on rise and road and railroad links are upgrading every day.

Belarus has extensive and widely used canal and river systems. Although Belarus has no direct access to the sea, it is relatively close to Baltic Sea ports and has agreements with Baltic countries to transport Belarusian goods and to use the ports.
