Almaty Railway Bypass Project

Objective

It is "a landmark investment aimed at strengthening freight efficiency, urban mobility and regional connectivity in Kazakhstan". - AIIB

Description

The project will finance construction of a new single-track electrified freight railway bypass along the northern perimeter of Almaty. Extending about 75 km between Zhetygen station in the east and Kazybek Bek station in the west, the route will provide a dedicated corridor for freight operations outside the densely populated city center.
