President of Turkmenistan Gurbanguly Berdymuhamedov chaired on March 12 a meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers to consider the important issues of the national policy.
One of the main themes discussed was quality of building roads in Turkmenistan and turkmen leader marked the poor quality of construction of roads. In particular, the Turkmen leader said that the construction of the ring road around Ashgabat did not comply with norms and standards. “If such is the situation in the capital, what can we tell about construction of roads in the velayats?” Gurbanguly Berdymuhamedov summed up.
In this regard the Turkmen leader emphasized that all facilities including roads built in the country must meet international standards. Modern road transport infrastructure was a key factor in the economic growth of any state as well as an indicator of its progress. Autobahns were built and used in all countries of the world though there was no high-quality highway built by Turkmen specialists in Turkmenistan.
The President instructed Vice Premier D. Orazov to hold an international tender for the construction of high-quality roads in the country and invite the well-known foreign companies which had the profound expertise in this field to participate in the tender.
The road building projects should provide for construction of the necessary infrastructure including facilities, interchanges, illumination, bus stops, filling stations, car washes, restaurants, hotels, etc. The Turkmen leader said that 70 percent of workers involved in construction of facilities by the foreign companies must be citizens of Turkmenistan who could learn the best international practices.
Gurbanguly Berdymuhamedov focused on the need to build autobahns which become toll highways after being put into operation that would allow covering the construction costs.
To ensure training highly qualified specialists for this sector the President suggested opening a new educational institution in the country – the Institute of Highway Technology, which could occupy the old building of the Turkmen Polytechnic Institute. The new educational institution would train specialists in construction of roads and railways and necessary infrastructure facilities, the Turkmen leader said.
