Major repairs on the Osh-Kara-Suu road have entered their final stage, with the project scheduled for completion in November. More than 100 pieces of heavy machinery are currently operating at the site.
The section under renovation stretches nearly 19 kilometers, according to site supervisor Nursultan Abdyldabekov. Workers have already laid the first asphalt layer on about 10 kilometers. They are also building sidewalks and a bicycle lane three meters wide.
The reconstruction will widen the internationally important road to four lanes. The project costs 2.5 billion soms and is funded from Kyrgyzstan’s national budget.
The road holds strategic importance for the region because it leads to Kara-Suu market, described in the report as the largest in Central Asia. The section had not received major repairs for 40 years.
