The issue of collecting tolls on the Bishkek Northern Bypass is currently being developed by the relevant ministry. This was announced by Deputy Minister of Transport and Communications of the Kyrgyz Republic Baktyluu Mombekov during a meeting of the 'Ala-Too' parliamentary group. According to the official, the toll model is being considered as a tool to attract private capital for the construction, reconstruction, and subsequent maintenance of roads.

Tariff examples and current projects

A 16-kilometer section in the city of Uzgen, built by a private investor, was cited as an example of an existing toll road. Parameters of the Eastern Bypass road currently under construction are also provided as a benchmark for comparison.

Road project parameters

200som for passenger car travel in Uzgen
500som average tariff on the Eastern Bypass
