Model road built in western Khovd aimag benefits local people
Citizens of Khovd aimag are happy with spending 4-5 hours on the road where it used to require two days before.
What is more, paved road between Khovd aimag and the border with China was built with financing of the Government, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and Exim Bank and was put into operation three years ago. Within the framework of Western Regional Road Corridor Investment Program, 404 km of paved road out of 740 km was built with funding of the ADB. Thanks to the paved road the citizens began to benefit by saving their time, promptly receiving medical services, getting rid of technical damages in vehicles and profiting from their businesses. It also helps expand international trade and economic cooperation. The world-standard auto road with guardrails, flood protection dam, rest areas and road signs could be model infrastructure in road sector of Mongolia. ADB Country Director for Mongolia Yolanda Fernandez Lommen visited the aimag last week to familiarize with how local people are benefitting from the road that connected north and south borders of Mongolia.
