Baikal ferry crossing may be closed early

The ferry crossing to Olkhon Island may be closed early. The reason was the deterioration of ice conditions.

This is about the Sakhyurta - Olkhon ferry crossing. According to IA IrkutskMedia, it may stop working on December 25.

Representatives of the Directorate of Highways recommend residents of the region to plan trips in advance.

In mid-December, a caterpillar tractor fell through the ice on the Lena River in Kirensky District. The driver tried to cross the water body outside the official crossing. The driver managed to save himself.
