ASHGABAT, Turkmenistan, February 21.
Turkmenistan is set to modernize the Ashgabat-Dashoguz highway,
Trend reports via the press service of the Turkmen
Government.
The initiative stems from a resolution endorsed by President
Serdar Berdimuhamedov at a Cabinet of Ministers meeting, which
greenlights the reconstruction and associated infrastructure
projects. The reconstruction plan features the development of new
bridges along the route.
An international tender will be conducted for the highway project,
linking the capital city of Ashgabat in the south with the northern
Dashoguz region, traversing the Karakum desert. The Ministry of
Automobile Roads will take charge of the initiative, contributing
to the larger mission of modernizing the nation's road
infrastructure and improving transport-transit corridors.
The Ashgabat-Dashoguz highway is a vital road in Turkmenistan,
linking the capital Ashgabat with the northern city of Dashoguz
while traversing the Ahal and Dashoguz provinces. It serves as a
significant transport corridor for trade and travel and is
integrated into an extensive network of highways that bolster
national infrastructure.
The Ministry of Automobile Roads was created on the basis of the
former State Agency for Road Construction Management in February
2026. The ministry was established to modernize the country’s road
infrastructure and improve transport efficiency.
