BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 8. The main part of
the reconstruction of a 5.1-kilometer section of the
Lebedinovka–HPP-5 road in Kyrgyzstan has been completed, with the
overall implementation of the project reaching 97%.
This was announced in a statement by the press service of the
Ministry of Transport and Communications of Kyrgyzstan.
"The main part of the reconstruction of a 5.1-kilometer section
of the Lebedinovka–HPP-5 road has been completed," the statement
said.
As part of the works, the installation of the main road pavement
layers has been fully completed. The lower asphalt-concrete layer
and the upper SMA-22 layer have both been laid to 100%.
Work is currently underway to install road signs and barriers,
apply road markings and complete the arrangement of bus stops.
The total length of the Lebedinovka-HPP-5 road is 5.1
kilometers. As part of the reconstruction, the road category was
upgraded and the number of lanes was increased from two to
four.
In addition, a two-lane auxiliary road with a length of 2
kilometers was built alongside the main road to provide access to
the Birimdik-Kut residential area.
Construction works began on February 26, 2025.
Trend estimates
indicate that if the remaining works proceed according to the
current schedule, the reconstruction of the 5.1-kilometer
Lebedinovka–HPP-5 road could reach 100% completion in the near
term. With the overall implementation currently at 97 percent,
approximately 3 percent of the project remains, mainly involving
road signs, markings, barriers and the completion of bus stops.
According to Trend’s calculations, the expansion of the road from
two to four lanes could increase its traffic capacity by providing
twice as many designated lanes for vehicle movement. Together with
the newly built 2-kilometer two-lane access road to the
Birimdik-Kut residential area, the project could improve
connectivity and help accommodate growing traffic demand along the
route.
If the remaining works are completed as planned, the project
would bring the reconstructed main road to 100% completion, while
the combined length of the upgraded main route and newly
constructed auxiliary road would reach 7.1 kilometers.
