Road Transport Restructuring Project (World Bank Loan 4437-KZ)

The loan financed the rehabilitation of two sections of the Almaty–Astana road, Almaty–Gulshad and Akchatau–Karaganda, including bridges: some 470 of the 500 km planned had been completed when the loan closed in 2007. It also included institutional components on road transport policy and regulation, institutional strengthening of the Roads Committee and road safety.
