Akim of Almaty Yerbolat Dosayev, during a working detour of the Zhetysu district, got acquainted with the pace of construction of a transport interchange at the intersection of Zhansugurova Street and Seifullin Avenue.
The project was launched in 2017, but was delayed due to the need to purchase 259 land plots. So, the last site was vacated in May of this year.
The project involves the construction of 2 tunnels with a total length of 690 meters to ensure uninterrupted traffic along Seifullin Avenue. The passage of vehicles along Zhansugurova Street will be carried out at ground level. There are also 4 aboveground pedestrian crossings, sidewalks and landscaping of the surrounding area.
As of today, the asphalt concrete pavement of all exits has been installed, one aboveground pedestrian crossing has been erected, and work is underway to rebuild sewer and contact networks.
In addition, work has been completed on the installation of asphalt concrete covering of the Zapadny and Vostochny tunnels along Seifullin Avenue. Traffic on them will be open at the weekend and, under favorable conditions, it is planned to apply temporary road markings.
The mayor of the megalopolis instructed to speed up the work and complete the facility with landscaping of the adjacent territory by the end of June next year.
It should be noted that after the interchange is put into operation, it is expected that the capacity along Zhansugurova Street will increase by 15%, along pr. Seifullina - by 20%.
