Economy and Infrastructure

Bratsk is served by the Baikal-Amur Mainline railway and Bratsk Airport. There is a hydrofoil up the Angara to Irkutsk.

The city's economy is largely reliant on heavy industry, including one of Russia's largest aluminum plants, lumber mills, chemical works, and a coal-fired power station.

Higher educational facilities include the Bratsk State University and a branch of the Irkutsk State University.
