Another 18 kilometers of dedicated bus lanes will appear in Tashkent

In Tashkent, another 18 kilometers of dedicated bus lanes will appear. Works will be carried out on four streets of the capital.

According to the capital's khokimiyat, specialists determined the locations after analyzing more than 150 kilometers of roads with public transport routes. The project includes Mukimi Street with a length of 4.6 kilometers in Yakkasaray and Chilanzar districts, Karatosh and Kukcha Darvoza streets — 4.2 kilometers in Shaykhantakhur district, Parkent Street — 2.8 kilometers, and Mirzo Ulugbek Avenue — 6.3 kilometers in Mirzo-Ulugbek district.

Central streets will be repaired in these sections. Engineering communications will be inspected before the start of the works. If faults are identified, the networks will be repaired or replaced. The project provides for convenient pedestrian routes, signs, bus stops, and lighting. Polymer-modified bitumen with durable crushed stone will be used for the road surface.

The khokim's decision has already been signed, and a budget for the project documentation is currently being formed. According to preliminary estimates, about 6.5 billion sum from the Tashkent Development Fund will be required for this. "Toshkent invest kompaniyasi" will act as the customer for the projects. Project organizations and contractors will be determined on a competitive basis.

In addition, on a six-kilometer section of the Fergana Highway in Tashkent, cameras have been installed in both directions to record cars entering dedicated lanes for public transport. Cameras are also being installed on bus lanes on other streets of the capital.
