In Kabardino-Balkaria completed the reconstruction of the road Chegem-2 – Bulungu

The reconstruction of the Chegem-2-Bulungu highway in Kabardino-Balkaria is coming to an end. The progress of the project was reported in the Ministry of Transport of the Republic.

According to the national project “Infrastructure for Life”, a 25-kilometer section is brought to the standard. Capital-intensive work began in 2022 - during this time, about 40 km of the route were reconstructed, including the section that is being completed now.

Updates affected four settlements - Nizhny Chegem, Khushto-Syrt, Eltuby and Bulungu. There laid a new coating, built waterways and installed modern outdoor lighting. Artificial structures were seriously updated: 14 bridges were reconstructed and overhauled.

At the current stage, a complex of construction and installation works in several technological areas is being carried out. On the site, reinforced concrete blocks of the New Jersey type are imported and installed in the design position, in parallel, the curbs are strengthened and asphalt concrete is laid at adjoining and intersections.

The route is of strategic importance: the updated road will significantly improve access to the tourist routes of the Chegem Gorge and neighboring areas. This should give impetus to the growth of tourist traffic and the development of related infrastructure.
