According to the Shymkent City Department of Passenger Transport and Highways, 850 streets in the city will be paved with asphalt with a total length of 1,059 kilometers. This year, 540 streets (605 kilometers) will be repaired, and the remaining streets will be covered by 2026.

Projects aimed at developing transport infrastructure and improving road safety are being implemented in the city in stages. Among them is the project to extend Izendy Street from Yusupov Street to Tolemetov Street. The total length of the road is 1.9 kilometers. Recently, this section was officially opened to traffic. The goal of the project is to reduce traffic congestion on Baidibek Bi Avenue, Tolemetov Street and the A-2 bypass.

According to the City Passenger Transport and Highways Department, today several important streets have been overhauled and brought into line with modern requirements. In particular, Shubarkol Street (from B. Momyshuly Street to Utegenov Street), Yusupov Street, as well as Zhanakonys Street have been repaired. On the last section, a new 15-meter bridge was built over the Koshkarata River.

In general, large-scale projects are being implemented in the city to develop road infrastructure. One of them is the construction of the extension of D. Kunayev Avenue. The project consists of six stages. Currently, three stages have been completed, and work on two more stages will be completed by the end of the year and in 2026.

The extension of D. Kunayev Avenue is being built in a southern direction, as an alternative to the general Republic Street. The extension of D. Kunayev Avenue will connect to the "South" bypass.

Last year, the construction of the 16-kilometer "Southern" bypass was completed according to plan. This facility is considered the main road connecting the national highway to Tashkent to the Lengir highway. The construction of the road was undertaken to reduce traffic congestion in the city. The next priority is to complete the remaining stages of the extension of Kunayev Avenue.

Also, the reconstruction of the A-2 bypass is an important project that will strengthen the transit potential of the city. The 28.2-kilometer road is divided into eight stages. Currently, four stages have been completed, and the construction of three stages will be completed this year. The remaining part will be commissioned in 2026.
