According to the press service of the Tashkent city administration, traffic has been partially restored on the section of Temur Malik Street where part of a new overpass wall collapsed a day earlier. To bypass the emergency site, traffic has been organized in the opposite direction along the route from Sultoniya Street to Mirzo Ulugbek Street.

On both sides of this section, the maximum permitted speed for traffic has been set at 30 km/h. Traffic has been opened along the Great Silk Road Street (via the bridge), but these temporary measures are insufficient to address underlying road infrastructure issues.

From the second half of Thursday, work to eliminate the consequences of the collapse was carried out at the site. Simultaneously, as the administration reported overnight, additional engineering work began on the opposite support walls to reduce pressure on the structures.

Social media users have reported cracks observed above the collapse site, as well as recent asphalt renewal in that area. Similar cracks are also noticeable on the opposite side of the overpass, raising concerns about the overall state of the infrastructure.

This incident highlights ongoing quality concerns in road construction and maintenance in Tashkent. The administration's swift actions have helped partially restore traffic, but core problems remain unresolved, increasing the likelihood of similar emergencies in the future.
