Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- On 15 November, President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev got acquainted with the presentation of projects for the development of transport infrastructure in the city of Tashkent.

The dynamic development of our country creates favorable conditions for the growth of cities, including the capital. This, in turn, requires the development of new roads and bridges, the opening of new routes for transport.

In recent years, underground and overground metro lines have been put into operation in the city of Tashkent, which has created even more convenience for passengers. In continuation of this work, it is planned to build an underground metro line from the Buyuk Ipak Yuli station to the Tashkent Tractor Plant massif, as well as to implement the second stage of the construction of the aboveground ring metro.

During the presentation, the relevant project proposals were considered. Thus, two options for laying an underground line are being worked out - through Mirzo Ulugbek Street or Buyuk Ipak Yuli Street. According to preliminary estimates, in the first case, the length of the line will be 8.6 kilometers, carrying capacity - 62 thousand passengers per day. In the second variant, the length of the route will be 8 kilometers, carrying capacity - 55 thousand people per day. The construction work is expected to last 5 years.

The second stage of the overground metro stipulates the laying of more than 11 kilometers of overpass tracks from the Kuylyuk massif to station No. 5 of the Sergeli branch. It is planned that the line will consist of seven stations, with a capacity of 38 thousand passengers per day.

A project was also presented to expand the overpass from Babur Street to the Islam Karimov Tashkent International Airport with the construction of a ring-shaped bypass bridge.

During the presentation, the technical and economic aspects of these projects were discussed, the head of state made recommendations for finalizing the projects in terms of convenience, safety and quality.
