workers employed at the South Point Experimental Torpedo
Boat Plant were housed.

(6) Two-lane, eight-to-ten-meter wide highway which followed
the coastline from Feodosiya to Yalta. This was the only
highway not designed for civilian needs.. Construction on
the road begat in 1954 and, as of early 1957, the section
from Feodoeiya to Sudek (N 44-51, B 34-58) had been completed
and was open to traffic. The roadbed was from 30 to 40
