In addition to it from last year the implementation of the 2-stage of Kordai bypass construction with transferring into 1 category has been commenced», - pointed out Mr. А. Issekeshev in his speech.  

In view of increasing twice the intensity in Almaty-Bishkek road and rising of accidence risk Uzynagash-Otar section (with the length of 96 km of II-technical category) is planned to be transfered into 1-technical category with 4 lanes. As the result road with characteristics of the 1-category will be constructed from Khorgos to Kyzylorda, that can essentially decrease accidence risk and mortality in case of RTA.

In the 2 half of the current year it is planed to sign loan agreement and conduct bidding procedures. Beginning of reconstruction is 2017, the end - 2019. During construction work on the section, traffic will be carried out by existing road that excludes obstrauction of traffic in the whole corridor.
