The Government of Kazakhstan has additionally allocated 22.7 billion tenge from the emergency reserve to eliminate the consequences of the spring floods and restore destroyed infrastructure facilities.
According to the press service of the department, the corresponding resolution was signed by Prime Minister Olzhas Bektenov.
It is reported that the funds will be directed to local executive bodies for the restoration and construction of roads, bridges, and culverts in the Akmola, Aktobe, Kostanay, and North Kazakhstan regions.
It has become known that in the Aktobe region, 31 projects will be implemented, including the repair of culvert pipes on the Yrgyz-Nura, Yrgyz-Kutikol, Kumtogay highways, the road to the village of Uil, the reconstruction of a bridge over the Uil River, and the construction of a bridge crossing in Aike village in the Aiteke Bi district.
In the Akmola region, it is planned to carry out the reconstruction of a section of the road to the city of Atbasar, the Atbasar-Sochinskoye highway, repairs to the Zhaltyr-Makinsk roads, the approach to the villages of Koluton, Zhambyl and other settlements.
