The Hokim of Tashkent has signed an order on the construction of dedicated lanes for public transport with a total length of 17.9 km. The decision dated October 29, 2026, provides for organizing BRT bus traffic on four city streets and approves a list of central thoroughfares to be renovated. The project aims to increase the priority of public transport and improve mobility conditions for residents of the capital.
The longest section, 6.3 km in length, will run along Mirzo Ulugbek Avenue in the district of the same name. Another 4.6 km of lanes will be arranged on Muqimi Street, which crosses the Yakkasaray and Chilanzar districts. Along Qaratash and Kokcha-Darvoza streets in the Shaykhontohur district, 4.2 km of dedicated sections are planned, and 2.8 km along Parkent Street in the Mirzo-Ulugbek district. Toshkent Invest kompaniyasi has been appointed as the client for the construction and repair works and will select the designer, contractor, and technical supervision agency.
Financing will be provided through bank loans, the hokimiyat’s road and transport infrastructure development fund, and the Tashkent Development Fund. A preliminary allocation of 6.5 billion soums from the city fund will be earmarked for design work and client expenses; the amount will be adjusted following expert review, and any unused balance will be returned. Before road repairs begin, public utilities must complete the construction, relocation, and restoration of engineering networks. Work on manholes and utility lines will be paid for by the organizations that hold them on their balance sheets.
