Transportation
Yaroslavl is situated at the crossing point of a number of major automotive, rail and riverboat routes. The M8 (Moscow — Yaroslavl — Vologda — Archangelsk) links the city to Moscow and also onwards to the north in the direction of Archangelsk. The city's two banks are connected by one major railway bridge and two bridges designed to carry automotive traffic (The Oktyabrskyj Bridge and Yubilejnyj Bridge). The smaller Kostrol river, on the other hand, is crossed by as many as four bridges for automobiles and one for railway traffic (built in 1896).
