Society
Ulaanbaatar, April 7, 2025 /MONTSAME/. Within the Tuul River basin area, six support pillars are currently under installation as part of the Ulaanbaatar Cable Car Project.
This Project is one of Ulaanbaatar's 24 mega projects. The first line of the cable car is now under construction, with six of its 19 support pillars being built in the Tuul River floodplain area ahead of the spring runoff and seasonal flooding.
The second line of the Project will stretch 2.7 kilometers from Shangri-La to the National Garden Park, featuring three stations and 70 to 74 cabins. The cable car project is expected to alleviate peak-hour traffic congestion, mitigate bottlenecks in the Yaarmag and Nisekh areas, and increase the average speed of city traffic by 4 percent.
Each cabin will accommodate up to 10 passengers, with a travel time of approximately 11 minutes. The support pillars will range in height from 7.5 to 42 meters, and the cable cars will operate at a speed of 21 kilometers per hour.
