Korgalzhyn Highway repairs begin, causing traffic delays in Astana

Repair work has started on a major stretch of Korgalzhyn Highway in Astana. The busy section between Turan Avenue and Kabanbai Batyr Avenue is now under construction, leading to temporary traffic changes. Authorities have warned drivers to expect delays and plan ahead. Since June 7, traffic on the affected part of the highway has been limited to one lane in each direction. The restrictions are part of ongoing repairs carried out under the contractor’s warranty, meaning no extra public funds are being used.

Korgalzhyn Highway serves as a vital route through the city, particularly for Astana’s southern districts. While no full closures are scheduled, officials anticipate heavier congestion during rush hours. Drivers are being advised to check their routes in advance and consider alternative paths where possible. The work aims to improve the road’s condition without disrupting traffic completely.

The repairs will continue under warranty terms, avoiding additional costs for the city. Residents and commuters should stay updated on traffic conditions and allow extra travel time. Alternative routes are recommended to minimise delays during peak periods.
