Buses run late in Tashkent due to BRT lane construction

The Main Department for the Development of Transport and Road Transport Infrastructure of Tashkent issued the explanation following complaints from city residents on social networks. Dedicated lanes are currently being built and overhauled on Shahrisabz Street, Amir Temur Avenue, and Yangi Sergeli Street, covering a total of 5.09 km.

On Shahrisabz Street, the works cover 1 km, and on Yangi Sergeli Street — 1.36 km. On Amir Temur Avenue, 2.73 km is undergoing repairs in two phases: 1.43 km in the first phase and 1.3 km in the second.

According to officials from the department, traffic is temporarily restricted on some sections, and congestion has increased on several streets. This is most noticeable during the morning and evening rush hours: stuck in heavy traffic, buses cannot always keep to their schedules, intervals between trips grow, and passengers spend more time waiting at bus stops.

The department expects that after the works are completed and normal traffic flow resumes, congestion will ease, and buses will return to their regular schedules. The agency did not specify a completion date for the works.
