Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) – President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev got acquainted with the project for constructing an overpass at the intersection of New Uzbekistan Street and the 4R12 highway in Tashkent.

Traffic volumes on these two roads have increased in recent years. The number of cars heading to Bostanlik and Parkent districts has also increased several times compared to previous years and will continue to grow. In addition, this intersection in the future will become the central hub on the way to the city of New Tashkent.

Considering this, it is planned to build a transport interchange here. According to the project, 1 overpass, 3 tunnels, 4 roundabouts, and additional roads will be built. As a result, it will be possible to drive through the intersection without stopping. Travel time for drivers and passengers will be reduced by 20-30 minutes, and traffic safety will increase.

The President also inspected trade and service facilities being built under the Dustlik-Quylik aboveground metro line. As part of the project, 36 retail and service points, sports and children’s playgrounds, and parking lots are being created here.

Responsible persons were instructed to ensure safety at new facilities and develop the service sector in Tashkent.
