Repairs to the Ayagoz–Tarbagatai road in Abai Region have been completed, and the route is open to traffic. The section forms part of the republican highway Karaganda–Ayagoz–Tarbagatai–Bogaz. Local residents had raised concerns about the road’s condition for a long time.
Abai Region akim Berik Uali attended the opening ceremony. He said the trip from Ayagoz to Tarbagatai used to take two hours and can now be made in 40 minutes. The road is also an important route for residents of the Aksuat, Zaisan and Tarbagatai districts.
The highway was built in 1978–1980. Its total length within Abai Region is 618 kilometres. Medium repairs covered 15 kilometres last year, and a further 66 kilometres were fully repaired this year.
