This year, about 550 thousand m² of housing will be commissioned in the Zhambyl region, and 34 water supply facilities are planned to be commissioned. Twenty-three projects are underway to repair local roads, including major ones, such as the construction of the Southern Taraz bypass to the Kyrgyz border highway, the reconstruction of the regional railway Taraz - Sarykemer - Tuimekent - Aksholak, and the reconstruction of the highway Taraz - Zhetibay - Tegistic - Oyyk.
