Magadan is currently only connected with the rest of Russia by a road called the Kolyma Highway. There are no railway operating in the area. But there have been plans for the near future to have a railway line running towards Chukotka while cutting through Magadan. Long-distance travel can also be done by air or sea. The oblast has several airports, such as the Sokol Airport. Flights from these airports link Magadan to cities further away. However there are no international flights into the area.
