The Mayor's Office of Bishkek City adopted a resolution "On Approval of the Concept of Road Transport Infrastructure Development and Reduction of Traffic Congestion in Bishkek City".
The Concept of development of road transport infrastructure and reducing traffic congestion in Bishkek for 2024-2030 defines short-term and medium-term objectives, as well as priority areas of work of the Mayor's Office of Bishkek to address the problems of traffic congestion in Bishkek.
As part of the implementation of the above concept, large-scale projects are planned in Bishkek, such as the construction of bridges, modernization of road infrastructure, road piercing, organization of bike lanes on the roadway, unification of dedicated lanes in a single system, organization of one-way traffic, regulation of parking space (hourly electronic parking), increasing the number of places and parking lots for storing bicycles, organization of transport and interchange hubs and intercepting parking, optimization of the route network, and others
The implementation of the Automated Traffic Management System (ATMS), the main objective of which is to reduce congestion and improve road safety, will be actively continued.
At the entrance points to Bishkek city, it is planned to create at least 2 convenient and modern transport and transfer hubs at the intersection of the main intercity and interregional routes of land public transport, connecting the transport arriving from the regions with public urban transport running from the city.
