A Two-Level Interchange to Be Built Near “Buyuk Ipak Yo‘li” Metro in Tashkent
Uzbekistan
The center of Tashkent is preparing for a major transport upgrade: a two-level automobile interchange and a tunnel are planned at the intersection of Mustaqillik Avenue, Mirzo Ulugbek, and Buyuk Ipak Yo‘li Streets, which will significantly improve traffic flow and pedestrian safety.
The project was presented by the Tashkent Traffic Management Center (TTMC). A dedicated bus line (BRT) will be launched along Mirzo Ulugbek Street, connecting with the existing route along Shahrisabz and Mustaqillik Streets. At the intersection with Durmon Yo‘li, a tunnel with surface-level bus stops is planned.
Bahrom Shakirov, head of Tashkent Invest, emphasized that the changes are aimed at convenience for residents and city visitors. According to specialists’ calculations, average travel time along the 8 km stretch will be reduced by 25%, vehicle capacity will increase by 21%, and average traffic speed will rise by 25%.
In addition to vehicle lanes and the BRT, the project includes reconstruction of sidewalks, bicycle lanes, parking spaces, tree planting, and public space improvements. Trees will be transplanted, and an additional 8,000 square meters of green areas will be created.
The project was developed with Chinese specialists from China Construction in coordination with local organizations. AI-based traffic modeling was used to select the optimal solution.
Public hearings were held with local community leaders, who expressed their support for the project and urban reforms.
