A new 481-meter bridge has connected the banks of the Naryn River in the Namangan region
In the Namangan region, the construction of a bridge over the Naryn River, costing 62 billion soums, has been completed. It connects the Uychi, Uchkurgan, and Naryn districts with the regional center, the press service of the regional khokimiyat reported.
According to the main department of highways of the region, the two-lane bridge, with a length of 481.5 meters, has become one of the longest bridges built over rivers in Uzbekistan during the years of the country's independence.
The structure, featuring 20 intermediate piers, will shorten the journey that residents of the Uchkurgan and Naryn districts travel to reach Namangan by 20 km.
In addition, the bridge will improve transport connectivity with the "Uchkurgan" road border checkpoint (on the Kyrgyz side — "Kensay"), which was opened in September 2024.
The total length of the road being built under the project will be 17.5 km. The work is being carried out by the Tashkent regional branch of the "Uzyulkuprik" cluster.
The construction of the bridge was reported in February 2024. At that time, it was indicated that the total cost of the project would be 184.9 billion soums, including 53.6 billion soums for the bridge.
In 2020, a 267.5-meter bridge over the Naryn River, built in 1962 and connecting the Namangan region with the Andijan and Fergana regions, was reconstructed.
