TAJ2 Project Name: Railway - Jirgatal - Kyrgyzstan border

Location: The beginning of the route taken in the station area Wahdat / Ilyakov Federal districts on the existing railway station in - Vahdat - Ilyakov, the end of the route - the boundary of the Republic of Tajikistan to the Kyrgyz Republic

Brief Description:

• In the beginning of the route adopted by Art. Ilyakov. Then the route goes along the river valleys and Ilyakov in the direction of the existing road through many settlements. This area is characterized by a mountain, not very rugged terrain with an altitude of 850 to 1900 m above sea level. There are a lot of lateral tributaries, which provide mudslides. Mountain slopes of individual plots (rn Dubeda - Subulak) subject to landslides.

• Land of Obi Garm to Nurabad is the most complex both in terrain and in respect of geological and hydrogeological conditions. On this part of the proposed route passes in the direction of the road, carried out from the reservoir inundation zone Rogun, crossing numerous streams, mud beds, mountain ranges, which would require the construction of bridges, viaducts, overpasses, tunnels and other man-made structures.

• In general, the route of the proposed railway line on the territory of Tajikistan, in difficult mountainous terrain, replete with a large number of watercourses, mud beds, mountain ranges and crossover areas. To ensure regulatory compliance during the construction of roads (the maximum allowable longitudinal slope and the minimum curve radii), to perform the large volume of earthworks, including - blasting, construction of at least 20 major bridges longer than 100 m through p. Surkhob and side tributaries, a large number of overpasses and viaducts, bridges, culverts, retaining walls and other artificial structures. Intersection crossover sites would require construction of at least 8 tunnels total estimated length of 16 km. • The length of the route of the railway on the proposed variant of the territory of Tajikistan is approximately 296 km

TAJ3 Rehabilitation and reconstruction of highways Gulistan - Farkhar - Panj – Dusti

Location: The beginning of the route - village Vosseyskogo Gulistan district of the Khatlon region, the end of the route – village Dusti Kumsangir district of Khatlon region.

Brief Description: • Start highway Gulistan - Farkhar - Panj - Dusti is located in the village. Gulistan and then the road runs in a south-westerly direction. The road Gulistan - Farkhar - Panj - Dusti was built in 1932. This road is important for the development of the economy. The road length of 133 km, connects the southern Khatlon region in the south-west of the country, and also connects two routes AH7 and AH66 under the scheme of the Asian Highway (ASHD) • Currently, completion of the bridge over the River. Panji linking the Afghan port of Sher Khan with the Tajik Nizhniy Panj. Started to operate international transport corridor "North- South, connecting , China and Central Asia, Afghanistan, Iran and other nations of South Asia. In addition, the significantly increased volumes of freight and passenger traffic from the south-eastern areas of China via Kulma, the Gorno- Autonomous Oblast of Tajikistan in the Khatlon region, and later in Afghanistan and Iran. • The proposed route will significantly reduce the transportation of cargo and passengers Tajikistan has huge potential for development of the mining industry, energy, mountain tourism, however, poor roads hampering their development. • The increase in freight traffic in poor maintenance and inadequate funding of road sector does not allow to adequately carry out international transport. In addition, the annual floods have destroyed some sections of the road. The road, built in irrigated agricultural zone and the pass Karatau (780 m above sea level), subject to periodic flooding, debris drifts and destruction subgrade, artificial structures and pavement. Throughout the route on the road has more than 50 small and medium-sized man-made structures across rivers, irrigation canals and Sai, the technical condition which requires repair work. Increased traffic on the road Gulistan - Farkhar - Panj - Dusti, in its present condition and the inadequacy of its geometric parameters required, does not allow at present to ensure the smooth passage of vehicles.

• Rehabilitation and reconstruction of the highway 133 miles long.

Investment cost:

Reconstruction of the roadbed, 133 km - 12358 thousand USD Device pavement, 931,000 m 2 - 12382 thousand USD Construction of artificial structures - 10860 thousand USD Situation of the road - 600 thousand USD Total - 36200 thousand USD
