BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 26. Turkmenistan’s

contracts for the design and construction of the 546-kilometer
Ashgabat-Dashoguz highway, as well as for the construction of a
812-meter-long road bridge and the modernization of bridges along

Road transport plays an important role in Turkmenistan’s
transport system, supporting domestic passenger and freight
movements and connecting different regions of the country. The
development of road infrastructure is among the priorities outlined

2022–2028.
Ashgabat, the capital, and Dashoguz, the administrative center

connections between them could enhance regional transport
accessibility.
The construction of new roads and bridges, alongside the

to develop transport infrastructure. The announcement did not
