From the Caspian Shores to the Border: Construction of the Strategic Highway Gains Momentum
The construction of the "Turkmenbashy–Garabogaz–Kazakhstan Border" highway, which holds strategic importance for expanding Turkmenistan's international transit and transport potential, is progressing rapidly. The project aims to elevate regional trade turnover and strengthen logistics cooperation.
Currently, the construction of the modern highway is being carried out in two main sections:
- Turkmenbashy–Garabogaz section: 207 kilometers in length.
- Garabogaz–Kazakhstan border section: 43.6 kilometers in length.
High-quality construction is being managed by the "Altyn Nesil" Private Enterprise under the commission of the Ministry of Automobile Roads of Turkmenistan. More than 1,000 units of machinery and over 1,300 skilled specialists are working around the clock.
In addition to the asphalt surface, the project includes two water treatment plants, modern parking areas, and road police checkpoints. According to reports, the 43.6 km section reaching the Kazakhstan border is scheduled for completion by the end of July this year. This highway will become a vital part of the "North-South" international transport corridor.
