The project for the construction of a road connecting the Sergeli and Yakkasaray districts is being implemented in two stages. To date, the construction of an almost 2-kilometer highway from Chuponota Street to Tashkent Ring Road has been completed. A 788-meter bridge and two 207-meter overpasses were built at the junction with Tashkent Ring Road.

Currently, active work is underway within the framework of the second phase of the project. A road is being built with a length of more than 4 kilometers from Tashkent Ring Road to Kipchak Street.

In total, these six-lane roads and overpasses will have a capacity of up to 12 thousand vehicles per hour. Thus, the travel time from the Sergeli district to the city center will be 20 minutes instead of the previous 40-50 minutes. The load on Yangi Sergeli Street will be halved.
