A 5 October review by Kazakhstan’s Prime Minister’s Office brought together recent transport infrastructure work across roads, railways, aviation and logistics. The Government said it was pursuing investment, capacity upgrades and digital systems under President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev’s instruction to improve regional connectivity. The review distinguishes completed work from projects still under way or planned. Its core network figures cover periods from 2023 through the first eight months of 2026.

Between 2023 and 2025, 19,100 kilometres of roads were built, reconstructed or repaired: 5,656 km in 2023, 7,306 km in 2024 and 6,178 km in 2025. Work in 2026 covers more than 11,000 km: 3,400 km of construction or reconstruction on the national network, 5,000 km of major and medium repairs on national highways, and 2,400 km of local road repairs. Road transport carried 1.3 billion passengers in the first eight months of 2026, 3.9% more than a year earlier. For rural access, 10,200 km of local roads were completed in 2023–2025, including 556 km of new roads.

A major planned connection is the 896-km Center–West route, which would link Astana with western regions via Arkalyk and Yrgyz. Reconstruction is under way on the Kyzylorda–Zhezkazgan, Aktobe–Ulgaisyn and Zhezkazgan–Karaganda roads. In West Kazakhstan Region, reconstruction and major repairs on 245 km in 2026 cut travel time from nearby settlements to Uralsk from 12–14 hours to 5–6 hours, according to the Government; the affected area has about 54,000 residents. On rail, 911 km of new track were laid over the past five years. Construction of another 800 km and modernization of about 2,600 km are under way. Railways carried a combined 60.2 million passengers in 2023–2025.

In aviation, Arkalyk Airport resumed operations on 22 August 2026 and the Pavlodar runway was modernized. New air hubs in Zaysan, Katon-Karagai and the Kenderli resort zone are scheduled for completion by year-end. As of September 2026, domestic service covered about 60 routes with 890 flights a week. On the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route, the Digital Trade Corridor links the railway systems of Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan and Georgia. The Tez Customs module supports paperless transit processing and reduced customs clearance time from eight hours to 30 minutes. Cargo delivery along the corridor has fallen from 38 days to 13–17 days. The Government’s stated 10–12-day stable transit goal remains a future target.
