The Cabinet discussed the loan agreement of the World Bank’s
Ulaanbaatar Sustainable Urban Transport Project in June. Preparations are
underway to have the agreement ratified by the State Great Khural. Using the
loan, a five-year plan will be implemented to improve road and traffic safety
in Ulaanbaatar, repair, upgrade, and restore the road network, upgrade public
transport and the traffic control center, and introduce a new smart system to
reduce traffic congestion and support the city’s road and transport development
strategy.
A feasibility study was carried out into relocating large
markets and building freight terminals and logistics centers and meetings were
held with companies to reduce congestion in the capital city.
223 km roads will be built over the next three years to have
direct impact on the reduction of traffic congestion. The design plan will be
developed this year and the construction will begin in 2022.
