Kazakhstan plans a large-scale expansion of its transport network in 2026, with around 11,000 km of roads slated for construction and repair. According to Kazinform, the program includes 2,300 km of new construction and reconstruction, 5,000 km of capital and mid-level repairs, and 4,000 km of upgrades to local road networks—focused on transit corridors, border routes, and tourism access.
Conditions

Otherwise — No.
