The Siberian Route lang ru Sibirsky trakt , also known as the Moscow Route lang ru Moskovsky trakt , and Great Route lang ru Bolshoi trakt , , was a historic route that connected European Russia to Siberia and China . Previously Siberian transport had been mostly by river via Siberian River Routes . The construction of the road was decreed by the Tsar two months after the conclusion of the Treaty of Nerchinsk , on 22 November 1689, but it did not start until 1730 and was not finished until the mid 19th century. The route started in Moscow as the Vladimir Highway and passed through Murom , Kozmodemyansk , Kazan , Perm , Kungur , Yekaterinburg , Tyumen , Tobolsk , Tara, Russia Tara , Kainsk , Tomsk , Yeniseysk and Irkutsk . After crossing Lake Baikal the road split near Verkhneudinsk . One branch continued east to Nerchinsk while the other went south to the border post of Kyakhta where it linked to camel caravans that crossed Mongolia to a Great Wall of China Great Wall gate at Zhangjiakou Kalgan . In the early 19th century, the route was moved to the south. From Tyumen the road proceeded through Yalutorovsk , Ishim , Omsk , Tomsk , Achinsk and Krasnoyarsk before rejoining the older route at Irkutsk.
