BAKU, Azerbaijan, August 26. Uzbekistan is
advancing work to relocate an existing railway line and improve
transport safety at the intersection of two major roads in the
Tashkent region, with crews continuing the installation of
reinforced-concrete bridge beams.


This was reflected in the statement by the Uzbekistan
Railways.


The project is being carried out under an order issued by the
chairman of Uzbekistan Railways on June 23, 2026. It covers the
section where the Tashkent–Chirchiq–Chimyon road intersects with
the Bektemir–Chirchiq–Gazalkent–Chorbog road.


As part of the project, construction crews are working on a new
railway bridge between the Barraj and Khojikent railway stations,
in the PK4802+00 to PK4901+00 section. The works include installing
six specially designed reinforced-concrete beams, each measuring
23.6 meters, as well as relocating 700 meters of the existing
railway track to a new alignment.


The installation of the reinforced-concrete beams began
overnight on August 19 and continued overnight into August 26,
according to Uzbekistan Railways.


Experienced specialists installed the third of the six planned
bridge beams during the latest stage of construction.







“The construction process is continuing, with specialists
carrying out the work in accordance with the project schedule,”
Uzbekistan Railways said.


The relocation of the railway is intended to improve safety and
streamline the intersection of railway and road infrastructure in
an area connecting several important settlements in the Tashkent
region.


The bridge is a key component of the relocation project,
allowing the railway infrastructure to be shifted to a new
alignment while maintaining the continuity of rail operations.


The project highlights Uzbekistan’s ongoing efforts to modernize
transport infrastructure and address safety issues at road-rail
intersections as traffic volumes and connectivity continue to
expand.


Work on the bridge and the relocation of the railway track is
currently underway, with further beam installation and track
construction expected as the project progresses.
