In particular, 25 km of new roads were built, the Kuldzhinsky tract was expanded to 6 lanes, 250 km of roads on 255 streets were repaired on average, 770 gas buses and 115 electric buses were purchased. Expansion of the Kuldzhinsky tract from four to six lanes: This project has doubled the capacity of the section from 40,000 cars per day to 80,000. In addition, barrier fences were installed along the edges of the road, lighting and drainage poles were moved from the roadway. Modernization of highways: In 2024, work traffic was opened at the Saina–Monke bi interchange and the radial punching of Abai Ave. A cloverleaf interchange at the intersection of Saina and Monke Bee streets is being organized in order to reduce the traffic load on two major highways at the exit from BAKAD.In addition, work continues on punching Sain Street from Ryskulov Avenue in the direction of the 3.2 km long interchange under construction. The punching should reduce the traffic load from Momyshuly Street by a third. The akimat plans to build a road with three lanes in each direction, with sidewalks and bike paths.Next year, 35 km of new roads will be built, and an average repair of 300 km of roads is planned. Transport connectivity will be ensured by the introduction of the Seifullin–Zhansugurov interchange, the punching of 2 radial and 2 main streets.The construction of a transport interchange at the intersection of Seifullin Avenue and Zhansugurova Street will increase the capacity along Seifullin Avenue by 15-20%, along Zhansugurova Street – by 15%.These works will increase the share of high-quality roads from 92% in 2024 to 95% in 2025.

Construction of technical sidewalks at the intersection of Al-Farabi Ave. and Zharokov Ave.A technical sidewalk is a sidewalk that is usually located on main streets and helps to effectively combat the spread of soil, as well as efficiently remove snow. In addition, such sidewalks help to solve the problem of drainage, preventing their flooding in case of heavy rains, which is especially important for Almaty with its changeable climatic conditions.The final location of the productive press tour was the facility where large-scale landscaping works were carried out on the dividing green zone along Abai Ave. (between Turgut Ozala and Mukanova Streets).The area of the facility is 5.2 hectares, we note the fact that the last landscaping was carried out more than 15 years ago.In the dividing green zone, work was carried out on the modernization of the outdoor lighting line in 120 poles, the replacement of benches and urns in total - 110 pieces, the dismantling of asphalt pavement (7020 m) and the installation of paving stones (8000 m2), the construction of a 10 km irrigation system, sanitary pruning of green spaces and landscaping (1000 p. m. biryuchiny, 2,500 flowering shrubs, 41,000 m2 of lawn).Akim of Bostandyk district Sanjar Alin noted: "These projects became possible thanks to the active participation of residents who expressed their wishes and ideas. We continue to work on improving the quality of life in our area."Projects to improve urban infrastructure are actively developing in Almaty, and the "People's Participation Budget" program plays an important role in this process, through which every resident can directly participate in the transformation of their neighborhood, which makes the city more comfortable and pleasant to live in.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/almaty/press/news/details/906098
