Starting November 13, Almaty will restrict traffic on Alatau Avenue between Abay Avenue and Ulugbek Street. The restriction is due to the construction of a new metro station, infohub.kz reports.
According to the Almaty Joly Telegram channel, traffic will be redirected to an already-built bypass road. The new metro station No. 1 will be located on Alatau Avenue, north of Abay Avenue. Drivers are asked to plan their routes in advance and to pay attention to road signs.
The third phase of the first line project provides for the construction of about 5.3 km of tunnels and three new stations.
Station No. 2 will appear near the intersection of Alatau Avenue and the future Tole Bi Street, while Station No. 3 is planned near the Barlyk market. A transport hub combining the metro, bus routes and the LRT will be created there. Parking is also planned.
