The centre of the Mongolian capital is plagued by traffic problems, resulting in congestion across the city. To ease this, a huge civil engineering project involving the construction of the largest flyover in Ulaanbaatar will begin on 1 April to the south of Sukhbaatar Square. According to a study, 16-30 thousand vehicles travel daily across this busy section of the Mongolian capital. 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.
The project has 6 component parts. The main flyover between Olympics Street and Ikh Mongol Uls Street, passing over Narnii zam (Sun road) and the 406th railway crossing will be 470-meter long, 16.5-meter wide and will have 4 lanes.
The road on the east side of the National Amusement Park will be closed for a year-and-a-half due to construction work.
