A project to construct road underpasses at four locations in the capital is being implemented to improve traffic safety by eliminating intersections between railway and road traffic.
According to the Integrated Project Management Department, the project covers the following locations:
Tavan Shar railway crossing
Geological Central Laboratory intersection
Railway crossing near the “Hermes” Center
Narny Road–Ikh Khuree Street intersection
At the first site—the Tavan Shar underpass at Railway Crossing No. 396—construction progress has exceeded 90 percent. Works on lighting, landscaping, stormwater drainage systems, and other finishing tasks have been completed. Design documentation for a 90-meter-long pedestrian overpass to ensure pedestrian safety has been approved through expert review, and construction began in December 2025.
At the second site—the Geological Central Laboratory intersection—land acquisition is ongoing, with 19 of 21 land parcels fully cleared. Negotiations are continuing for the remaining two parcels. Following approval of the detailed design through expert review, construction began in 2024 but has been temporarily suspended due to winter conditions.
At the third site, located south of the “Hermes” Center, design documentation for the railway underpass has been approved and land acquisition has been completed. The main structure of the underpass has been installed beneath the railway foundation using a box-pushing method, which allows construction to proceed rapidly without disrupting train operations. Road construction works are planned to begin in the second quarter of 2026.
At the fourth site—the Narny Road–Ikh Khuree Street intersection—design work for the underpass is currently underway.
