In the 1960s Lengiprotrans was involved in the development of the Tulun-Beloziminsk highway project. The end point is now known as the village of Belaya Zima by the river of the same name. The road was supposed to pass in the Tulunsky district of the Irkutsk region.
The transport development of the region was largely associated with the discovery of the Beloziminsky deposit of phosphate-niobium carbonatite ores in the late 1950s. The Commission of the State Planning Committee of the USSR made a decision to build a mining and processing plant (GOK). In accordance with this, it was necessary to have a transport connection connecting the GOK with the regional center.
Design and survey work was complicated by the taiga conditions of Eastern Siberia. Preliminary aerial photography was carried out for the design of the road.
For economic reasons, the construction of the road was suspended. In the mid-1990s, the Beloziminsky GOK was closed and the village of Belaya Zima was resettled.
Now a road runs from Tulun to the village of Belaya Zima, but it is in an unsatisfactory condition and is used only by fishermen and hunters.
