Today, President Shavkat Mirziyoyev got acquainted with a presentation on the work done in the field of road construction and future priorities.
The presentation provided information about projects and plans in the field.
According to the UN analysis, quality roads will stimulate the growth of Uzbekistan's economy by at least 2 percent. Today, 6 projects for the reconstruction of 729 kilometers of roads are being implemented with international financial organizations. In particular, 240 kilometers of road in the direction "Kungirot-Beinau" will be commissioned in the coming days. Also, certain parts of Gulistan-Andijan, Dushanbe-Termiz, Bukhara-Turkmanboshi, Urganch-Hazarasp roads will be reconstructed.
The head of state pointed out important tasks in the field.
- Considering the geographical location of Uzbekistan, international roads are very important in international trade. Therefore, our 4,000-kilometer international roads connecting Andijan and Kunghirat, Termiz and Tashkent must meet the highest standards, said Shavkat Mirziyoev.
Reportedly, it is necessary to accelerate the toll road projects between Tashkent-Samarkand and Tashkent-Andijan, to build them in sections with a high level of traffic. In such cases, the existence of an alternative free way is determined by a separate law.
Today, 4,700 bridges are under repair. A three-year program was developed and the task of gradually repairing them was set.
Roadside infrastructure is being developed in the regions, trade and services are being organized. As stated in the presentation, in addition to this, 70 service centers will be built on nearly 4,000 kilometers of international highways.
Instructions were given to work closely with international financial institutions and attract foreign consultants in infrastructural projects such as road and water networks.
