Repairs in Astana: Details on what's closed and anticipated reopening dates
Hello there!
Prepare yourself, Astana residents, as we jam-pack the city with some serious road works this year. The heart of the action is the upcoming Victory Parade taking place on May 7. With an impressive lineup of military personnel, modern armored vehicles such as the Barys 6x6, Alan-2, Cobra II, and Ural VV[1] making their grand entrance, the city needs some major road adjustments.
To ensure a smooth show, several key streets have been targeted for temporary closures. Here's the lowdown:
- From April 24 to September 1, 2025, Bukhar Zhyrau Street will undergo phased closures as part of the "Street of Bukhar Zhyrau from street No. 37 (Zhoshy Khan) to the Prospect of Tauelsizdik" project. The goal is to beautify the streets, install traffic control devices, and even some landscaping magic[2].
- Starting from April 20 to August 20, K. Kaiysenova Street will see a complete closure from Bukhar Zhyrau to Tauelsizdik Prospect, with alternative routes available through internal courtyards[2].
- Come April 9, Kuiysh Dina Street will be closed from the Mira School to M. Zhumabayev Prospect, staying shut until August 30[2].
- As of April 22, Koktal Street will be off-limits from N. Tlendiyev Prospect to Okzhetpes Street, limiting traffic to one direction on both sides[2].
- Gaukhar Tas Street will be closed from Telkonir Street to Turan Prospect from April 19 to May 10, directing traffic to alternative streets[2].
- Sarybulak, Sh. Bokeyev, and Mangilik Yel Avenues will also face short-term closures during April, with traffic being re-routed[2].
N.B: Fret not, these roadworks are part of the parade's warranty obligations, covered by contracting organizations' funds.
Apart from the parade, it seems like Astana's streets are buzzing with constant change for 2025. Keep your eyes on the roads and stay updated! 🙂
