In 2024, 45 km of outdoor lighting lines on main streets were repaired in Almaty. During the work, damaged lines were restored, burnt-out lanterns were replaced, and a new cable was stretched.
In October alone, about 700 non-functioning lamps were replaced on Dostyk, Ryskulov and al-Farabi Avenues, on Kerey-Zhanibek Khandar, Bukhtarminskaya and Mailina streets, as well as on the Eastern Bypass Highway (VOAD).
At the same time, one hundred percent lighting of the automobile tunnels and bridges on al-Farabi Avenue in the area of its intersection with Rozybakiev, Zharokov, Dulati, Seifullina, Nazarbayev, Dostyk and VOAD streets was provided. 220 old lamps, some of which were burned out, were replaced with new LED floodlights in these areas.
The work on providing Almaty residents with high-quality outdoor lighting is carried out everywhere and not only on main streets, said Alimukhamed Zhalpakov, Chief engineer of AKZH. According to him, regardless of the street category, repair crews respond to all incoming calls with the same efficiency.
"For example, recently we replaced 120 lamps in the Kokzhiyok microdistrict of the Zhetysu district, 90 lamps on Brusilovsky Street in Almaly district, 80 new lamps were installed in the Alatau district on Dosmanov Street," A. Zhalpakov said.
In general, since the beginning of the year, more than 30 thousand lamps have been replaced in Almaty and over 300 km of cable has been stretched. According to their importance, the streets of the city are conditionally divided into three categories. Category "A" includes main roads and streets (avenues) of citywide significance, as well as pedestrian zones located along them. These are such sites as Kuldzhinsky and Ili tracts, VOAD, al-Farabi, Ryskulov, Abai, Dostyk, Nazarbayev, Seifullina, Abylai Khan, Suyunbai, Mailin, Sain, Timiryazev, Bukhtarminskaya Streets and others.
Category "B" includes freight roads and streets of regional significance. This list includes such streets and avenues as Kabanbai batyr, Auezov, Kunaev, Kaldayakov, Gagarin, Rozybakieva, Chaliapin, Khaliullina, Makataeva, Baitursynova, Mustafina, Dulati, Momyshuly, etc.
Category "B" includes roads and streets of local importance, courtyards and driveways, and gardening facilities.
The norms of the SNiP provide for certain indicators of illumination for each category of streets. So, at the facilities of category "A" they should be 15-20 lux, category "B" - 10-15 lux, category "C– - 5-10 lux. Almaty Kala Zharyk strictly ensures that these norms are observed in the city.
