Economy and infrastructure

Nyuya and the neighbouring village Turukta, 18 km downstream on the Lena, were timber production centres during the Soviet era. The timber company was privatised in 1992, however it later went bankrupt.

The village has a river port. Road access is only reliable in winter, when the frozen river allows a winter road to Lensk.
