The tender for the Tuul Highway project just announced today /2025.01.28/ , with construction set to begin in April and completion expected within 24 months. The highway continues for 32 km between Bayanzurkh bridge and traffic circle located in Songinokhairkhan district which parting ways to western provinces. And it will be the first highway which has six lanes with no traffic lights and crossroads in Ulaanbaatar.

City mayor Kh.Nyambaatar provided some information about this project:

-In 2024, we spent a total of about 900 million USD on traffic jams, including time and fuel. If it continues, total amount will exceed 1 billion USD by 2030. As of today, average speed of rush hour is 7-13 km per hour and it will reach 5-9 km per hour by 2030. So we will build second level of roads from now on. The first highway within the city is one of them.

The opening of the highway will increase the average traffic speed by 13.5 percent and improve the throughput of vehicles passing through Darkhan and Zamyn-Uud. Thus, congestion on Ulaanbaatar’s main and secondary road network will be reduced by 10-20 percent. The next second levels of roads will intersect with the Tuul Highway.
