Earthwork is underway for the construction of a new bus station in Turkmenistan, Trend reports with reference to Turkmenportal information portal.
The construction will be carried out on the territory of the old airport. Thus, the building of the former airport has already been demolished.
The bus station will serve 700 passengers simultaneously.
The construction of this bus station will have a great importance with the arrival of the Ashgabat-Turkmenabat highway to the administrative center in the coming years.
Construction is carried out by Muhammet-Balkan company.
As reported, Turkmenistan’s Muhammet-Balkan company is building modern bus stations in the Balkan, Dashoguz, Lebap, and Mary regions of the country.
Waiting rooms, cafeterias, information boards, information services, and communication points are planned to be built within the facilities of bus stations, which will be equipped with advanced communication systems, including digital technologies.
The bus stations are built by the order of Turkmenistan's production associations.
Previously, the Muhammet-Balkan company won the international tender announced by the Turkmen Ministry of Construction and Architecture to build the facilities. It has experience in building such facilities. A bus terminal of international class, located along the Ashgabat-Dashoguz highway and constructed by the company, was commissioned in September 2014.
