The Ulaanbaatar City Administration is to launch a project entitled “Street” in order to ease traffic jams and reduce air pollution.

Within the project 33 intersections in the city center will be rebuilt, 700 roads will be barred and a highway along the Tuul river through Ulaanbaatar city will be built.

Ulaanbaatar city administration is in negotiation on a ban on raw coal transportation to the city, instead encouraging the half coking coal in order to reduce air pollution by up to 50 percent. It will also support wool as a building material and hasten highway construction.

The City Authorities say there will be no difficulties due to available land.
