History

The Far East Avenue, which is a continuation of the Novocherkassk Avenue, starting from Zolnaya Street and ending with Bolsheviks Avenue, is the main transport channel of the Merry Town. Trolleybus, bus (commercial and social) routes pass through it, centrally, between a two-way three-lane traffic, and there are tram ways on a special dedicated canvas.

The Far East Prospect received its name in honor of the Far Eastern Territory. For 16 years, from 1940 to 1956, it was a stretch from the Republican to Granite streets and was a part of Novocherkassk Avenue. Only in 1962 this name was received by a new prospectus, stretching along the right bank of the Nevsky district.

New buildings

Until 2009, residential buildings were located only from Antonov-Ovseenko street to Telman street. On the left side (from Zolnaya Street to Podvoisky Street) there was an ash dump. However, in 2007, at the intersection where the Far East Prospect intersects with the streets of Kollontai and Badaeva, the Temp construction company began construction of a new residential complex comprising 5 multi-storey brick and panel houses. Now other construction companies are working on this site. Large residential complexes "Aurora" and "Vostok" have been built and put into operation. With each year, the development of the former ash disposal area continues. In 2012, the garages located on the site along the Far Eastern Avenue to Kollontai Street were demolished, a huge amount of cubic meters of land was exported and the construction of the Rio Housing Complex and social institutions was started.
