Transit volume through territories of Kazakhstan and Russia increased by 35%

"The transit volume through the territories of Kazakhstan and Russia increased by over 35% in 9 months of 2012. This is a high indicator. Further increase of the freight transit requires adequate development of the national transport infrastructures," A.Mamin said.

He also noted that Kazakhstan modernizes its railway lines paying special attention to expansion of the national network of railways.  

Thus, "Kazakhstan Temir Zholy" informs that several projects are currently implemented in the country and will be completed in 2 years. Due to it, the total length of the railways built in the territory of the country will make about 2.5 thousand km.
