Asphalt pavement was laid and the roadway was expanded over a 6.4 km section. According to the press service of the Ministry of Transport and Communications of the KR, the works were carried out under difficult conditions due to the mountainous terrain.
Safety and highway expansion
Previously, the road was narrow and posed a danger to drivers. To make movement safer, blasting operations were conducted on mountain slopes to widen the roadway. Reinforced concrete barriers are currently being installed in the most dangerous sections.
The Ministry of Transport noted that construction is being carried out in stages. In the future, plans are in place to improve the remaining sections of this highway to ensure convenient transport links for the residents of Zardaly.
Context
Zardaly is a village located in the Batken region. Works are underway on the Tayan — Zardaly highway, which connects this mountain settlement to the rest of the region's infrastructure.
