Although some sources say the rode is in disuse, this documentary says it is an active supply route [1]. The road looks fairly maintained.
Considering both cities are some of the coldest in the world and the journey is 2000km, this really seems to be the result of poor planning. Part of the road contains driving over a frozen river, perhaps map apps should alert on crossings like this?
What's more interesting is that the vehicles that travel this road seem to not be in super great condition and for some reason I did not see any instance of chains.
