The city of Tashkent plans to create additional sections of dedicated lanes for public transport buses (BRT) on four streets. These works will cover Mukimi Street, Karatash – Kukcha-Darvoza, Parkent, and Mirzo Ulugbek Avenue. The total length of the new BRT lines will be approximately 18 kilometers.
The decision to establish these routes was made by the capital's hokim, Shavkat Umurzakov, on October 29, 2026. The longest section, measuring 6.3 kilometers, will be implemented on Mirzo Ulugbek Avenue in the relevant district.
On Mukimi Street, which runs through the Yakkasaray and Chilanzar districts, the dedicated lane will stretch for 4.6 kilometers. Additionally, another 4.2 kilometers of BRT will appear on Karatash and Kukcha-Darvoza Streets in the Shayxantahur district. A separate section of 2.8 kilometers will be allocated on Parkent Street in the Mirzo-Ulugbek district.
The project's client is Toshkent Invest, which is responsible for developing projects and selecting contractors. Initially, 6.5 billion soums have been allocated from the Tashkent Development Fund to prepare project documentation and cover related expenses. Additional project funding will come from commercial bank loans and funds from urban road and transport infrastructure development funds.
Before road surface repairs begin, utility services are required to bring engineering networks into compliance and relocate them if necessary. Authorities have also instructed that the process be organized to avoid traffic collapse and ensure safety, including limiting vehicular traffic on certain sections.
It should be noted that it was previously planned to create dedicated BRT lanes for public transport on Shahrisabz, Amir Temur, and Yangi Sergeli Streets, which is scheduled for late November and early December 2026.
