There are more than 39,000 km of dirt roads in Uzbekistan. There are 425,000 km of such roads in the USA as well - Chairman of the Highways Committee
At the 15th
plenary session of the Senate, Chairman of the Highways Committee, Abdurahmon
Abduvaliev, reported that the existing highways in the republic were
recalculated and today there are 209,000 km of highways, of which nearly 40,000
km are dirt roads.
"When
we recalculated, it was found that there were 209 thousand km of roads, not 184
thousand.
Of this,
42,654 km are ours, and the rest are domestic roads and other roads. Today,
about 40,000 km of this road has been repaired.
There are
39,417 km of dirt roads in the republic, which are being gravelled.
Step by
step, we are doing what the whole world is doing, the USA also has 425,000 km
of dirt roads.
We
recognize our shortcomings in terms of roads, but our main problem is related
to domestic roads," said the chairman of the highways committee.
