Construction
of the Tuul Highway, a six-lane, 32-kilometer expressway, will also begin this
year. A contract with the contractor was signed in 2025, and preparatory works
for the project have been completed at 80 percent. Of the 112 land parcels
affected by land acquisition for the project, 10 have already been cleared.
The Tuul Highway is a strategically important project aimed at expanding Ulaanbaatar’s road network, reducing traffic congestion, and easing transit traffic passing through the city center.
