BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 3. Track connection
has been completed on the Moyynty–Kyzylzhar railway line in
Kazakhstan, which will become an important link in the
Trans-Caspian International Transport Route (TITR or Middle
Corridor), the Kazakh government said.
"The new 323.3-kilometer railway line will run through the
Ulytau and Karaganda regions. Once commissioned, it will become an
important link in the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route
(TITR), also known as the Middle Corridor, improving regional
connectivity and the efficiency of freight transportation," the
government said.
The project will shorten freight routes by 149 kilometers,
reduce the load on the Moyynty–Zharyk railway section, increase the
speed of container trains and expand capacity for freight and
transit transportation. According to the approved schedule, the
railway line is scheduled to be commissioned this year
The project is being implemented on the instructions of
President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev and is aimed at strengthening
Kazakhstan’s transport and logistics potential, expanding
international transport routes and increasing export freight
volumes.
"According to the Ministry of Transport, construction of the new
railway line is progressing at a high pace and in accordance with
the approved schedule. Around 2,000 specialists and more than 700
units of equipment are currently involved in the project," the
government said.
Modern technological solutions are being used to ensure
efficient construction on complex sections. In particular, railway
tracks are being laid using bypass lines at bridge structures. This
approach ensures continuity of construction works and helps
maintain the established deadlines.
