ДОЖДАЛИСЬ! 8 лет строили и ОТКРЫЛИ пробивку Саина в Алматы! #almaty #automobile #music #roadtrip

A long-awaited event for the city—in early June 2026, Almaty finally opened the new, paved section of Saina Street to traffic. This project can, without exaggeration, be called a long-suffering one, as it took eight years to build (since 2018). Here are the key details that drivers and residents should know: ​🗺 Where exactly did the road open? ​Traffic was opened on the new 3.2-kilometer section. It connected Ryskulov Avenue with Monke Bi Street (near the BAK). Saina Street has now become another powerful through artery, which will help relieve traffic congestion in the north and west of the city, connecting residential areas and exits from Almaty. ​🚗 Current status and restrictions ​Only the bottom layer of asphalt: Traffic has opened in technical mode. This means that the final, top layer of pavement will be laid a little later, after the main construction and installation work is complete. ​Speed ​​limit: 40 km/h: Until all the development work is completed, a strict speed limit has been established on the new section for safety reasons. Please pay attention to the signs. ​Work continues: Currently, parallel work is underway on the alternate ramps, sidewalks are being laid, bike paths are being installed, and the surrounding area is being improved. ​⏳ Why did construction take so long? ​The main reason for the eight-year delay is the purchase of land plots from private owners. The process was gradual and cumbersome, with the last plot being released only in October 2025. Even the final launch, scheduled for May 20, 2026, had to be pushed back slightly due to prolonged rains, which prevented the timely rebuilding of a major power line (110 kV). For those who frequently travel toward the Alatau district or leave the city north, this section will significantly reduce travel time.
