Comprehensive work continues in the region to upgrade the road network. Repairs are carried out not only in cities, but also in rural areas. This approach is designed to reduce the gap in living standards between rural and urban residents and ensure equal access to high-quality infrastructure.

Significant increase in funding

Over the past three years, the amount of funds allocated for road repairs has increased significantly.

In 2022, 8.5 billion tenge was allocated for these purposes.

In 2023-2024, financing was increased to 20 billion tenge annually.

This year, 29 billion tenge has been allocated for the repair of more than 400 streets in 103 settlements, which is 3.6 times more than in 2022.

In terms of financing of the road industry, the region is among the leaders of the country, ahead of other regions in some cases up to 9 times.

Work in the regional center

Special attention is paid to the regional center. In 2024, 8.2 billion tenge was allocated for the repair of streets and courtyards in Kostanay, which is 1.7 times higher than last year and 3.6 times higher than in 2022.

Repairs were carried out on 85 streets with a total length of 51 kilometers.

Implementation of major infrastructure projects

Work is also underway in the region on the republican road network. On behalf of the Head of State, the implementation of the Center–West project has begun — a new route from Astana through Arkalyk, Torgai and Irgiz with access to the Trans-Caspian International Corridor.
The new route will shorten the journey by 560 kilometers and provide transport connectivity to 13 settlements with a population of about 70 thousand people.

The repair of the road from Arkalyk to the border with Ulytau region is being completed. At the same time, work is underway to restore the airport in Arkalyk.

Results and impact on the economy

In general, 103 billion tenge has been allocated to improve the condition of roads this year, which is 40% more than in 2024 (73.8 billion tenge). A total of 1,300 kilometers of public roads have been repaired.

The development of road transport infrastructure is already showing a positive effect. In the first ten months of this year, the volume of road freight increased by 33.9%.
