The old 420 km section via Tomtor was largely unmaintained the 200 km section between Tomtor and Kadykchan was completely abandoned. When the road was upgraded, the route was changed to bypass the section from Kyubeme to Kadykchan via Tomtor, and instead pass from Kyubeme to Kadykchan via a more northern route through the town of Ust-Nera. In 2008, the road was granted Federal Road status, and is now a frequently maintained all-weather gravel road. As the road is built on permafrost, interment into the fabric of the road was deemed more practical than digging new holes to bury the bodies of the dead. The road is treated as a memorial, as the bones of the estimated 250,000–1,000,000 slave laborers and political prisoners who died while constructing it were laid beneath or around the road. Inmates of the Sevvostlag labour camp started the first stretch in 1932, and construction continued with the use of gulag labour until 1953. The Dalstroy construction directorate built the Kolyma Highway during the Soviet Union's Stalinist era. Paving extends over the 150 km nearest to Magadan elsewhere the road mainly comprises gravel.
