Construction of tunnels, bridges, and other infrastructure facilities is currently underway in Kyrgyzstan.

This was reported by 24.kg, citing the Ministry of Transport and Communications of Kyrgyzstan. A meeting was held at the ministry with representatives of China State Railway Corporation. The parties discussed the project's implementation progress and further stages of railway construction. The meeting was attended by Deputy Minister of Transport and Communications Almaz Turgunbaev and member of the board of China State Railway Corporation Wang Xinxi.

According to the ministry, the main international and investment agreements for the project have already been signed. The general contractor has been identified, and financing issues have been resolved. Currently, construction of tunnels, bridges, and other infrastructure facilities is underway.

The Kyrgyz side noted the need to involve local specialists, use domestically produced materials, and comply with environmental requirements. At the meeting, representatives of the two countries emphasized the importance of transparency in project implementation and agreed to continue joint work to complete construction within the established deadlines.

The China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railway is one of the largest infrastructure projects in the region. The total length of the route is about 480 kilometers, of which more than 304 kilometers pass through the territory of Kyrgyzstan.

The new railway corridor is expected to become the southern link of the Eurasian Continental Bridge, opening access to the markets of Southeast Asia, West Asia, and the Middle East. This route will be able to deliver cargo from China to Kyrgyzstan, as well as to Central Asian and Middle Eastern countries, including Turkey and further to the European Union.
