The Zhezkazgan – Petropavlovsk highway with a length of 954 kilometers passes through four regions (North Kazakhstan region, Kostanay, Akmola and Ulytau region) of Kazakhstan.

The longest section of 359 kilometers is located in the North Kazakhstan region. It is in this region that the largest amount of work is concentrated. Thus, as part of a large-scale project for the average repair of roads of national importance, it is planned to repair almost 300 kilometers of roads here by the end of 2025.

At the moment, the modernization of 83 km of the Zhezkazgan – Petropavlovsk road is being completed in North Kazakhstan region, including a 40-kilometer section between the villages of Nikolaevka and Pokrovka, and 43 kilometers between the villages of Lomonosovka and Stavropol, Toksan bi and Novoishimka. The work on the asphalt concrete pavement has been completed in full.

In 2025, it is planned to repair another 215 kilometers, including 69 kilometers between Beskol village and Pokrovka village, and on sections with a total length of 146 kilometers from the city of Sergeyevka to the border with the Akmola region. At the moment, preparatory work is underway, including the replacement of culverts and the procurement of building materials.
In general, in addition to the average repair of the road, 24 flood-damaged culverts will be replaced in the North Kazakhstan region by the end of 2025 and 72 more will be repaired.

In the region, most of the Zhezkazgan – Petropavlovsk road has not been modernized since the 80s of the last century: only in 2017-2018 the section between Beskol village and the city of Petropavlovsk was reconstructed, and in 2023 an average repair of the 51-kilometer section of the road between the city of Sergeevka and the village of Nikolaevka was carried out. The section from the village of Toksan bi in the direction of the Yesilsky district of the Akmola region was in critical condition.

Work on the Zhezkazgan – Petropavlovsk highway is also being carried out in other regions of the country. By the end of 2025, 113 km of roads are planned to be repaired in Akmola region, 109 km in Ulytau region, and 71 km in Kostanay region.
As part of a large-scale project for medium-sized repairs, the Zhezkazgan-Petropavlovsk republican highway will be almost completely updated by the end of 2025.
