New road to shorten distance between Ferghana Valley and Tashkent

Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- Capital reconstruction of the 216-274-km part of the Tashkent-Osh road is underway in Ferghana region.

Previously, this road of international importance, which links Ferghana and Andijan region with Tashkent, passed through Kokand, UzA reported.

As the city developed and the population increased, the traffic on the Kokand ring road has significantly intensified.

In order to ease the traffic, the new road is being built between Uch Uy and Chagali villages of Ferghana region. Currently, the second stage of the construction is nearing completion.

After the road is launched, the way to Tashkent from the two above-named regions will shorten by 18 km.
