The specialists of the design institute of the State Concern “Turkmenavtoyollary” (“Turkmenavtodorogy”) completed the development of the project of an automobile bridge across the Karabogazgol Bay. The facility, 354 meters long, 17 meters wide and seven meters high above the bay, will provide four-lane traffic (two lanes in each direction) in the direction of the Kazakhstan border.

The new engineering structure will be built on the site of the old one, with a bipolar movement, which is no longer cope with the increased traffic loads. The spans of the new bridge will be made of metal structures with a length of 110 and 64 meters, as well as reinforced concrete beams, which should provide a high load capacity and stability of the structure. The bridge will be equipped with pedestrian zones two meters wide, with artificial lighting and fencing.

The new bridge is part of the logistics system built in the West of Turkmenistan. A highway will pass through it, which will be a continuation of the Ashgabat-Turkmenbashi multimodal highway and link Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan, and makes possible to increase traffic and the volume of trade between the two countries.
