As part of the implementation of the tasks set by the end of 2024, construction, repair and reconstruction work was carried out on 12 thousand kilometers of roads, of which the main work was completed on 7 thousand kilometers. More than 10 thousand pieces of equipment and 25 thousand specialists participated in the project. As a result, the normal condition of roads of republican significance improved by 93%, and the normative condition of local roads improved by 89%.
One of the main priorities was to complete the reconstruction of four strategically important highways:
"Karaganda - Almaty" (885 km): Reconstruction work to the first technical category with four lanes, modern barriers and full lighting has been completed. As part of the project, 33 bridges, 48 overpasses, and 700 culverts were built.
"Taldykorgan - Ust-Kamenogorsk" (768 km): the road was upgraded to technical category I–II. During the construction, new bridges, intersections, and water crossings were built, which significantly increased the safety and comfort of traffic between Abai, East Kazakhstan, and Zhetysu regions.
"Atyrau - Astrakhan" (212 km): This important transport route connecting Kazakhstan with the Russian Federation has been upgraded to category II. 6 bridges, 1 overpass, 60 crossing structures and rest areas have been built along the entire length of the road.
"Aktobe - Kandyagash" (96 km): the reconstruction resulted in the improvement of the road to category I–II with four lanes. As part of the work, about 700 thousand tons of asphalt-concrete mixture were laid, 10 bridges, 5 overpasses and 3 intersections were built.
This year, construction and repair work covered more than 13 thousand kilometers of roads, of which 7 thousand kilometers are undergoing medium repair work. The "Zhezkazgan - Petropavlovsk", "Mukyr - Kulsary", "Ural - Atyrau" and other highways have been completed, the construction of the "Central - West" highway, as well as the "Aktobe - Ulgaisyn", "Karaganda - Zhezkazgan" sections, the Saryagash, Rudny and Shymkent bypasses has begun.
