BAKAD Road Concession Project

Project description

The Project consists of the construction of a 66km long half-ring road in the north of Almaty. The Project will be implemented under a 20 years long Concession Agreement based on availability payment scheme. The construction is expected to be complete in 50-month period and will be followed by 16 year operating period. The route runs through the territory of Almaty Oblast in three districts: Karasay district in the west (27.5 km), Iliy district in the north (19.3 km) and Talgar district in the east (19.2 km). The road will comprise of a 51.5 km long 6-lane section and a 14.5 km long 4-lane section. The Project includes construction of 8 junctions, 21 bridges, 18 viaducts and 1 railway truss.

The Concessionaire will be required to put in place the tolling operations and collect the tolls (tariffs to be set by the Grantor). The toll revenues collected will be transferred directly by the Concessionaire to the Kazakh authorities. In return, an availability fee will be paid to the Concessionaire by the Kazakh Republic for providing the motorway with a functioning tolling system for the duration of the concession period in accordance with pre-determined performance standards.
