Kazakhstan keen on constructing service facilities

Kazakhstan plans to build service facilities along the Western Europe-Western China transit corridor until 2020, said Berik Kamaliyev, Chairman of the board of the national company KazAvtoZhol.

“Kazakhstan plans to build 260 roadside service facilities along the roads of international and republican significance,” Kamaliyev said at a meeting at the Investment and Development Ministry of Kazakhstan.

However, he said, in general, the country needs more than 400 service facilities along the roads, adding that currently there are only 44 complexes with full coverage of all services.

“Currently, there are about 50 service facilities in the settlement Kordai on the Western Europe-Western China corridor. It will be necessary to create the same number of service facilities following the completion of construction of a bypass,” Kamaliyev said.

He said it is necessary to begin to reserve land plots along the bypass and to intensify the work to attract investors for the construction of service facilities.

Kamaliyev noted that Kazakhstan’s Road Research Institute (KazDorNII) developed national standard and the criteria to be met by future roadside service facilities.

“Given the holding of the Expo-2017, alternative energy sources will be used in the construction of these facilities, and, in general, “green” technologies will be complied with,” he added.
