The 93 km-long Dolon Pass – Char Pass section of the Bishkek – Torugart Road, has deteriorated in parts as a result of overloaded vehicles and severe weather conditions, as well as inadequate maintenance. The project will therefore:
- realign and reconstruct the road section in order to accommodate heavier vehicles and improve drivers’ visibility;
- carrying out of flood protection measures, such as construction of ditches, concrete pipes and culverts;
- installation of traffic and road safety devices installed;
- procurement of maintenance equipment.
