Since January 1, 2017, the highway M-54 Yenisei officially changed its direction at the 804 km "Kyzyl – Chadan – Khandagayty – state border with Mongolia". The road passed from the Republican into the Federal ownership. In turn, Federal road "Kyzyl – Erzyn – border with Mongolia" transferred to the Republican property.

Note that on 9 November 2016, at the initiative of the Head of the Republic of Tuva Sholban Kara-ool held a working meeting with the Minister of transport of the Russian Federation Maxim Sokolov, the results of which was the decision on implementing of the decree of the Government of the Russian Federation from September 14, 2015  No. 975 to change the direction of the Federal highway M-54 Yenisei on the territory of the Republic on the route Kyzyl – Chadan –Khandagayty – state border with Mongolia. The minister of road transport complex of the Republic of Tuva Oleg Bady charged the contracting organizations Vostok ltd and the building repair company Roads of Tuva to clean the transferred roads. This is momentous and historic event of great importance for the Republic, not only in the development of the agro-industrial and woodworking complex, coal deposits and agriculture, but also in the implementation of investment projects.

Redirecting the highway M-54 is seen as an investment project. Just the work on reconstruction of the highway will involve not less than 1 thousand workers, for which it is a stable earning. But the matter is not only direct investments, but also related ones, it is the ability for small businesses to implement their projects in the form of roadside service, tourism and trade.

Redirecting route will also enhance the accessibility of road network to population (203.3 thousand people or 62 % of the population), form a sustainable transport artery, providing the necessary infrastructure, in the direction of existing international transport corridors that ensure the development of the natural resources of the Republic, the relationship of settlements with the supporting transportation network, and will also help to achieve other significant socio-economic effects of the Republic of Tuva and the Russian Federation as a whole.
