Traffic on Korgalzhyn Highway in Astana will be temporarily restricted due to road works. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Kursiv Media.
According to the capital's Department of Transport and Road Transport Infrastructure Development, from July 1 to 20, a concrete base and pavement for an automated measurement system (AMS) will be installed on a section of the road.
During the works, traffic will be organized on one side of the road in both directions, which may lead to difficulties during peak hours.
Drivers and pedestrians are asked to take into account changes in traffic organization in advance and, if possible, plan routes considering temporary restrictions.
Earlier, Kursiv reported that traffic would be partially restricted at the intersection of Dostyk and Sauran streets in Astana.
