Which Streets Are On The Repair List?

It's not just Republic Avenue and Abai Avenue that's getting a facelift. From May 9 to 19, they'll be doing medium-deep repairs on a stretch of Zhumaibek Avenue between Balkantau Street and Momyshuly Avenue. Also, there are partial closures for repairs on Kenesary (from Sembinov Street to Brusilovsky Street) and the Korghalzhyn Highway (from Aitmatov Street to E-128) until May 14.

What Else Is Happening On The Nur-Sultan Road Construction Front?

Fans of urban development and infrastructure won't be disappointed. Here's a quick rundown of current and upcoming works in the city:

Beysekovoye - Tlendiyev Roundabout

These puppies have been under construction since 2022. By the end of 2023, they're planning to install the overpass and exits, making Beysekovaya Street a fully-fledged crossover over the avenue. For those hoping for a speedier completion, remember that the project faced delays due to increases in construction material prices, difficulties in freeing up construction areas, and pandemic-related supply chain disruptions.

Bukhar Zhyrau Street

The section from Zhosy Khan to Tauelsizdik has been under construction since April. Apart from the road, the project involves sidewalks, lighting, traffic lights, and engineering networks. They're aiming to wrap it up by the end of 2025.

Kaisenov Street

Traffic will reopen from Ully Dala Avenue to Bukhar Zhyrau Street next year.

Aiteke Bi Street

Construction resumes in June 2025 after the updated project is released. The works have been ongoing since 2019.

Bokeikhan Street

Reconstruction with roadway widening and landscaping is planned — from Kerei, Zhanibek to Ully Dala.

Akan Serі Street

The project restarted in 2025, after stalling due to land issues.

Mukhamedkhanova Street

The road between the Kurganaly Highway and Aitmatov Street is under construction since 2024. This year, a full-fledged crossing (finally!) will appear, reducing the load on the heavily congested intersection.
