📋 Tender Overview
On December 9, President Shavkat Mirziyoyev got acquainted with a presentation on the works being carried out in the field of highways and future plans.
Information was given about the work done in the field in the last three years, the amount of funding and practical results.
During this period, nearly 40 trillion soums were allocated to the highway sector, and construction and repair works were completed on 63 thousand kilometers of roads. Funds attracted from abroad to the industry will increase 3 times and reach 1.2 billion dollars in 2025. In the construction of the road, model templates were abandoned and the design practice based on the geological and ecological characteristics of each region was introduced. Modern types of pavements have been developed, and the service life of roads has been increased by 1.5 times.
Proposals and plans for solving existing problems in the field were presented in the presentation. First of all, it was pointed out the slow use of best practices and world-proven technologies in the repair of existing public and internal roads and bridges, as well as the construction of new ones.
In the coming years, it is planned to build and repair 21,000 kilometers of roads, gravel 14,000 kilometers of dirt roads, and repair 325 bridges. In this, it was ordered to involve foreign experts and technologies widely, to organize the work with the introduction of advanced standards.
It was shown that 1,800 kilometers of roads were repaired due to the movement of heavy trucks.
In this regard, it was noted the need to expand the network of weighing scales to control the weight of cargo transport. Currently, 9 such scales have been installed, 8 are in progress. In the future, an order was given to build 35 more mobile and stationary control-measuring facilities.
Officials were instructed to launch an interdepartmental electronic information system covering all processes related to weight and gauge control. Also, based on the weather conditions, it was proposed to develop a procedure for seasonal restrictions on the movement of heavy vehicles.
Today, the private sector is building 61% of new roads, and 92% of internal roads within the framework of the Initiative Budget. Road maintenance, which has been a state monopoly for many years, is gradually being handed over to private partnerships.
It is planned to expand these works and attract entrepreneurs to maintain 3,000 kilometers of roads next year, and 6,300 kilometers by 2030. In addition, it was pointed out that the roads to be built in 86 districts with the participation of the Asian Development Bank should be handed over to local contractors.
It was noted that the level of digitization in the sector is low, only 20 of the 59 existing services have been digitized. In the coming year, the importance of converting 28 services to electronic form, introducing an intelligent transport system and developing 7 new electronic platforms was emphasized.
At the end of the presentation, based on the defined tasks, the task of developing the strategy for the development of highways of Uzbekistan until 2035 was assigned.
