BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 8. Kyrgyzstan is
continuing work on a 9-kilometer bypass road around the city of
Kerben in the Jalal-Abad region, the Kyrgyz Ministry of Transport
and Communications reported.
Construction of the bypass is ongoing, the ministry said.
The 9-kilometer road will have two lanes and meet modern
standards.
Construction of engineering structures along the road, including
the installation of drainage pipes, has been completed. Asphalt
concrete paving is currently underway.
The road is of strategic importance for both Kerben and the
wider region. Once completed, traffic heading toward Ala-Buka,
Sary-Chelek and Kosh-Dobo will be able to bypass central Kerben
without entering the city.
This is expected to reduce traffic volumes within the city and
improve road safety.
The road will also create more convenient and safer conditions
for traffic to Chatkal and Ala-Buka districts.
Meanwhile, the construction of bypass roads is an important part
of improving transport infrastructure in Kyrgyzstan’s regions. Such
projects can help separate transit traffic from local traffic,
reduce congestion in urban areas and improve the movement of goods
and passengers.
The development of road infrastructure around regional cities
can also improve access to economic centers, tourism destinations
and local communities. Better transport links can strengthen
regional connectivity and create more favorable conditions for
economic activity in surrounding areas.
