By the end of March, traffic on the second track on the Dostyk-Beskol section will be launched in Kazakhstan. This 166-kilometer section is part of the large-scale Dostyk-Moiynty project aimed at developing the country’s railway infrastructure.
Earlier, the Balkhash-Moiynty section, 127 kilometers long, was opened as part of the project. Now, final construction work is underway on the new route, after which the route will be open to train traffic. The opening of the second track will significantly increase the transit potential and increase the speed of transportation.
The Dostyk-Moiynty project is planned to be fully completed by mid-2025. As a result of the modernization, the 836-kilometer railway line will increase its capacity fivefold, which will strengthen the transport corridor between China and Central Asia.
