The new Darbaza-Maktaaral railway line is expected to open to traffic by the end of the year. The main tracks will span nearly 128 kilometers. Earthworks are 98% complete, while more than 105 kilometers of track have already been laid. In October, the railway embankment is expected to be completed, with the main tracks laid and the track sections joined. A total of 29 bridges have been built, and 124 of the 129 planned culverts have been installed. More than 1,800 workers and nearly 1,000 pieces of machinery are involved in the project. The new line will provide an additional rail route to Uzbekistan, reduce the load on the Saryagash-Tashkent section, and increase the capacity of the railway network. It will also expand Kazakhstan’s transit opportunities to Central Asian countries.
