Uzbekistan railways and the World Bank discuss joint work for railway development
Uzbekistan Railways and the World Bank considered plans for further joint work. The first deputy head of Uzbekistan Railways, Khikmatulla Rakhmetov, received Senior Transport Economist at World Bank, Victor Aragones.
World Bank specialists promised to determine the amount of work required to reorganize the structure of Uzbekistan Railways, as well as to transition to new accounting and bookkeeping processes. In addition, the organization expressed its readiness to support the improvement of railway infrastructure.
One of the initiatives is to increase the speed of trains to 300 km/h. Now, high-speed trains on local lines run at 250 km/h.
The World Bank proposed areas of support to achieve the goals. An assessment of passenger traffic will help determine the feasibility and demand for modernizing each section. Conducting a preliminary feasibility study of the project will give an idea of the expected benefits of the investment. Expanding the railway network and improving the quality of infrastructure will increase traffic safety and service efficiency.
