Tashkent Begins Final Phase of Taras Shevchenko Gastro Street

Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.uz) — The third and final phase of construction of the gastro street on Taras Shevchenko Street has begun in Tashkent's Mirabad district, the district administration said.

The work is being carried out as part of a project to create a modern tourist zone in accordance with a Cabinet of Ministers resolution and a decision by the Tashkent mayor.

During this stage, reconstruction will cover a section of about 400 metres stretching from the intersection of Taras Shevchenko Street and Fidokor Street to the intersection with Shakhrisabz Street.

Demolition work and preparation of the site for concrete paving are currently underway. The reconstruction is scheduled for completion by the end of 2026.

According to the district administration, completion of the project is expected to expand business opportunities, support the development of the service sector, create new jobs and enhance the capital's appeal as a tourist destination.

The third phase will mark the completion of the Taras Shevchenko gastro street project.

The second phase of reconstruction was completed in June 2025. It covered the section between Said Baraka and Nukus streets, where upgraded pedestrian areas, landscaping, fountains, gazebos, modern lighting and surveillance cameras were installed.

The first phase of the project opened in autumn 2024 after several delays. It included the creation of public spaces, photo zones, Wi-Fi access points, a video surveillance system and a new public transport stop.
