The road between the Home Plaza Road Crossing and Narnii zam (Sun Road), passing over Ikh Mongol Uls Street was closed from today (16 April) at 5.00 p.m. The road has been closed for a huge civil engineering project involving the construction of the largest flyover in Ulaanbaatar.

The centre of the Mongolian capital is plagued by traffic problems, resulting in congestion across the city. To ease this, the construction of the flyover started on 1 April.

The  total cost of the project will be nearly USD 30 million; this is to be funded using a soft loan from the People’s Republic of China. The flyover is expected to open in 2019.
