E Kazakhstan repairs 856 km of roads and builds new bridges
This year, 856 kilometers of roads have been repaired in East Kazakhstan region, with a total investment of 98 billion tenge, akim (governor) of the East Kazakhstan region, Nurymbet Saktaganov, said at a briefing of the Central Communications Service in Astana, Qazinform News Agency reports.
Major projects have already been completed, including the Taldykorgan–Oskemen and Oskemen–Semey highways, while work continues on the Oskemen–Rakhmanovskiye Klyuchi and Kalbatau-Maikapshagai routes.
“For the comprehensive development of the regional capital’s transport infrastructure, two new interchanges are being built. They will help ease congestion and improve the overall capacity of the road network,” the akim noted.
According to him, Oskemen will see the construction of two new bridges — one across the Irtysh River near Vinogradov Street and another over the Ulba River to replace the Schneider Bridge. These projects will significantly enhance the region’s transport connectivity and boost its transit potential.
Nurymbet Saktaganov added that next year the reconstruction of the emergency bridge over the Uba River will begin. The bridge is part of the Oskemen–Shemonaikha–Russia border route.
Earlier Qazinform News Agency reported, the East Kazakhstan is set to launch 15 new projects worth 55 billion tenge.
