Erlan Makanov | Almaty city

Good afternoon! How many kilometers of the highway have been constructed within Western Europe – Western China Project? How many constructed road sections in total have been put into operation? What is a total length of road sufficient for traffic? I am asking these questions due to the fact that in August we are going by car from Almaty to Uralsk, therefore to make a motor race. Accordingly we are planning the most sufficient and comfortable route! Thanks in advance!!!
