126-km paved road commissioned, connecting Gobi-Altai to Bayankhongor aimag www.montsame.mn
Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/. A new 126.7 km-long auto road connecting Altai city of Gobi-Altai aimag with Bayankhongor city of Bayankhongor aimag has been commissioned with an opening ceremony held today, October 8. Prime Minister of Mongolia U.Khurelsukh took part in the ceremony and delivered an address.
He said “Over the past four years between 2016 and 2020, 95 soums of 17 aimags and 5 checkpoints have been connected to the capital city of Ulaanbaatar with paved roads within the framework of the government’s action plan. All 21 aimags of Mongolia now have been connected Ulaanbaatar city with paved roads as a result of today’s launch of this 126.7 km long road from Bayankhongor to Altai, completing the construction of horizontal segment of the Millennium Road highway road network project, which began two decades ago.”
The new road with number A0303, which will definitely bring various social and economic benefits and provide safety and comfort for road users, was built under Build-Transfer concession contract with domestic company Max Road LLC under supervision and counseling of Avarga Road LLC in less than a year, underlined the Prime Minister expressing gratitude for all companies and their engineering employees who participated in the road construction on behalf of the Government of Mongolia.
The construction of the Bayankhongor-Altai road was launched by ‘Energy Construction Trust’ company in line with the government resolution of 2015 in the scope of the public-private partnership. However, the construction was suspended due to certain reasons, to fully resume in 2019 by the Max Road company. A total of 800 workers, 400 machineries and equipment and 11 factories were engaged in the construction that lasted for 11 months.
The new paved road now allows the western aimags of the country, Gobi-Altai, Khovd and Bayan-Ulgii to easy reach to Ulaanbaatar city, contributing hugely to the social and economic growth of Mongolia. For instance, fuel consumption of vehicles travelling to the western region will be saved by up to 30-40 percent while the time spending will be reduced twice.
