Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/. Construction work to connect border
checkpoints by auto roads in the framework of the Government’s ‘New
Revival Policy’ has commenced.
Minister of Road
and Transport Development L.Khaltar became acquainted with
the progress of the ADB-funded project ‘Western regional road corridor
investment programmе-2’. As part of the project, a 25.8 km paved road is being
built in route of Tsagaannuur- Ulaanbaishint in Bayan-Ulgii aimag.
The construction work, which is scheduled to be completed by
August 30 this year, is currently at 60-70 percent except for the pavement
foundations.
“With the commissioning of the road, the amount of freight
to be imported to Mongolia will increase. Aside from this, it will create an
opportunity to conduct international transport between Russia and China
through the territory of Mongolia. As traffic intensifies, there will be a
lot of service points along the road, creating more jobs,” highlighted
Minister L.Khaltar.
