The construction of the Beineu–Saksaulsk highway will mark an important step in strengthening Kazakhstan’s transport potential. This was stated by First Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration of Kazakhstan Erlan Karin in a post on social media. He described the launch of the construction of strategic road projects with the participation of President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev as a historic event and recalled that the Head of State first raised the need for this highway during a meeting in Aktau in 2021. The direct route will significantly improve transport links between the southern and central regions and the Mangystau region. According to Erlan Karin, the new highway is significant not only at the interregional level, but also on a broader regional and transcontinental scale. That is why the President proposed naming it the Aral-Caspian Highway.
«Kazakhstan’s major highways have historically been
built primarily along a south-north axis. Both railways and highways were
constructed in this way. However, the Head of State is fundamentally
transforming the country’s transport system by placing particular emphasis on
east-west connectivity between regions,» noted Erlan Karin, First
Deputy Head of the Administration of the President of the Republic of
Kazakhstan.
