2012 05 07


Development of a feasibility study of the Tajikistani area of ​​the project for the construction of China-Kyrgyzstan-Tajikistan-Afghanistan-Iran railway is to be completed by September of this year, reported the Iranian media.

The question of construction of a railroad from Chinese Kashgar to Iranian Mashhad through the territory of Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Afghanistan was discussed at a meeting of Minister of Road and Urbanization Ali Nikzad with visiting Tajik Minister of Transport Nizom Khakimov on Sunday.

The parties have reached agreement on the finalization of the feasibility study of the Tajikistan project within three months.

Nikzad urged the Tajik side to provide the Iranian company Metra, which is developing a feasibility study, with all the necessary data.

That road is to increase trade exchange between all the countries through which the railway line will be laid, as well as reduce the cost and time of transporting goods, said the Iranian Minister.

In turn, Minister of Transport of Tajikistan reported that the total length of the Tajikistan area of ​​the road will be 392 km, of which 270 km are the most difficult to build, as it requires the construction of 16 km of tunnels and 47 bridges. According to Khakimov, the construction of each kilometer of the most difficult section requires $ 10 million.

Tajik Minister is in Iran to attend a two-day international conference "South Khorasan: Transit and Development of East axis," which opens in Iran's eastern city Birjand on Monday. The conference will bring together representatives of 18 countries.
