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.
