This was discussed during a recent presentation to the head of state of plans for the construction of highways.
It is planned to implement the project “Construction of internal roads with cement concrete pavement” with the participation of the Asian Development Bank.
As part of the project, 841 kilometers of roads with cement concrete pavement will be built in the Republic of Karakalpakstan and 86 districts of the regions, where more than 770 thousand people live in 272 mahallas.
$240 million of funds from the Asian Development Bank will be allocated for this.
Construction and technical supervision will be carried out entirely by domestic contractors – private entrepreneurs and local engineers. After the roads are put into operation, the main contractor will provide their guaranteed maintenance and operation for 5 years.
Another project is aimed at reconstructing the section of the international highway M39 “Almaty – Bishkek – Tashkent – Shakhrisabz – Termez” from 1255 to 1315 kilometers. This narrow section, in need of repair, runs through the center of the Dekhkanabad district.
As part of the project, 60 kilometers of four-lane road with cement concrete pavement will be built. A new 17-kilometer bypass road, 14 bridges and road overpasses will be built around the center of the Dekhkanabad district. The work will be financed by raising almost $154 million from the Islamic Development Bank and the OPEC Fund for International Development.
