Abstract	The paper considers the road network of the Far Eastern Federal District, which determines the possibilities of road transport, and assesses its role in the transport complex of the macroregion. The purpose of the work is to analyze the key parameters of the road network and regional features of the formation of the cost of road construction. The dynamics of the road network in the period 2015–2021 and its qualitative characteristics are considered. There is a predominance of regional roads in the northern regions of the Far East, while in the southern regions local roads predominate; as well as the lag of the macroregion in terms of the quality of the road network from the average Russian indicators. The increase in the intensity of trunk transit in 2022 against the backdrop of the reorientation of the main part of export cargo to the Pacific regional direction led to the tendency to transfer part of the intraregional cargo from rail to road transport. This actualizes the need for the development of roads and the assessment of the rise in the cost of road construction, taking into account the conditions of the Far Eastern regions of the Russian Federation. To analyze the differences in the conditions of road construction between the territories of the Far Eastern Federal District, 38 price zones were identified. Using the basic-index method for each price zone, the coefficients of appreciation of costs for the construction a conditional road facility were calculated (standard works for the construction of 1 km of a category II highway was taken into account). As a result, the interval of the coefficient of appreciation of costs for the construction and installation works (relative to the base facility) in the Far East ranged from 1,02 (Republic of Buryatia; price zone V) to 1,93 (Chukotka Autonomous Okrug; price zone II). The obtained estimates of cost differentiation for the selected price zones of the Far Eastern Federal District are presented on the cartogram.
