Turkmenistan is carrying out reconstruction of the
Turkmenbashi-Garabogaz-Kazakhstan highway and the bridge across the
Garabogazgol Bay,
Trend reports with reference to the local TV channel Altyn
Asyr.
It is expected that a 225 km long road with a two-way traffic
and a width of 22.5 meters will be laid from Turkmenbashi city to
the border with Kazakhstan. There are also plans to erect a bridge
across the Garabogazgol Bay with a length of 354 meters and a width
of 21 meters.
"The construction of a highway and a bridge to the
Turkmen-Kazakh border will allow increasing trade, the volume of
freight and passenger traffic between the western and northern
regions of Turkmenistan, as well as neighboring states," the
Turkmenistan State News Agency reported.
The section of this road in the direction of Kazakhstan will
become continuation of the Ashgabat-Turkmenbashi high-speed
multimodal highway. At the same time, the project of the road
bridge across the Garabogazgol Bay is intended for the
transportation of products of the urea plant recently built in
Garabogaz city.
