Millions Spent, Roads Remain Broken: Kostanay's Road Repair Failure

Kostanay Region Road Remains in Disrepair Despite Billions in Allocated Funds The Karamendi-Ulendi-Razdolnoe road in Naursky District, Kostanay Region, Kazakhstan, continues to suffer from severe damage, despite the government's allocation of 2 billion tenge for repairs in 2023 and 2024. A recent video published by Nasha Gazeta shows extensive potholes and crumbling asphalt along much of the 91km route. "Нам дорогу вообще ни разу не ремонтировали. Правда, в прошлом году сделали небольшой участок, но и тот уже весь разваливается," said a resident of the village of Burevestnik, highlighting the lack of substantial improvements. While 30km of the road have received some attention, the majority remains in a state of disrepair, posing challenges for local residents and transportation. The video concludes by urging the district akimat to comment on its plans for addressing the remaining issues. The video underscores the ongoing challenges in infrastructure development and the need for greater transparency and accountability in public works projects. The visual evidence provided by Nasha Gazeta serves as a powerful illustration of the situation on the ground and highlights the need for immediate action.
