Currently, the total length of the reconstructed sections of "Western Europe - Western China" international transit corridor is 1721 km taking into account 806 km reconstructed this year.

Specifically, this year the construction of 254 km in Kyzylorda oblast, 224 km in South Kazakhstan Oblast, 188 km in Zhambyl oblast and 140 km in the Aktobe oblast have been completed.

In 2014 it is planned to complete construction and open traffic on 179 km roads in four oblasts, except for Aktobe oblast where road reconstruction works have been completed to date. It is expected that traffic will be opened on the road sections from Shymkent to border of Russian Federation and from Taraz to Almaty.

Major part of construction works in 2014 will be at the following sections: Almaty – Khorgos and Shymkent – border of Zhambyl region where the reconstruction was started this year. The repair works will also start at the Tashkent – Shymkent section with the length of 99 km.

So, by the year-end 2014, construction works will be only performed at the exits to bordering states, namely, from Almaty city to border of China and from border of Zhambyl region to border of Uzbekistan.

Road corridor reconstruction is planned to be completed in 2015.
