At linear objects located in conditions of permafrost soil distribution, the development of a comprehensive approach to forecasting changes in the technical condition of engineering structures under the influence of hazardous geocryological exogenous processes is a pressing issue. The development of soil deformations at the base of engineering structures can lead to the transition of structures to a limited operational or emergency state, as well as to a complete or partial loss of bearing capacity up to destruction. In order to avoid the listed consequences, it is necessary to identify the main causes of road deformations and develop ways to eliminate them and prevent their occurrence. This article presents the methods and methodology, as well as the results of monitoring work on the Surgut – Salekhard, Nadym – Salekhard section road, including: studies of the water-thermal regime of the roadbed, electrical resistivity tomography of the foundation soils and snow survey. Based on the analysis of the monitoring results, further plans for the implementation and determination of the effectiveness of future design solutions have been developed.Keywords:
