Among them, it is worth highlighting the progress in the construction of the China–Kyrgyzstan–Uzbekistan railway, as well as the Eastern Bypass Road in Bishkek and the Barskoon–Bedel highway project. This year also marked the start of construction for the international airport in Manas.
China–Kyrgyzstan–Uzbekistan Railway: Start of Construction Works (Active Phase)
As of 2025, the China–Kyrgyzstan–Uzbekistan railway project is the most capital-intensive transport project in Central Asia. It is also among the top ten largest transport initiatives within the framework of the Eurasian Transport Corridor.
According to information from the Cabinet of Ministers, the length of the railway section on Kyrgyz territory will be 304 km, including 50 bridges and 29 tunnels with a total length of 120 km. The estimated cost of the project is 4.7 billion USD.
Of this amount, about 2.3 billion USD will be provided by China in the form of a 35-year loan through a Joint Project Company established by the three countries. The loan will be repaid by this company. The remaining 2.3 billion USD will be invested in the authorized capital of the company by the three states.
The distribution of shares in the Joint Project Company is as follows: China — 51%, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan — 24.5% each.
As of today, the construction of the China–Kyrgyzstan–Uzbekistan railway is actively ongoing. President Sadyr Japarov announced this on December 25 at the IV People's Kurultai.

The official start of road construction took place on August 27, 2025, with the participation of President Sadyr Japarov.
The route of the highway will pass through the Barskoon and Soek passes, the Kara-Sai valley, and the Ashuu-Suu pass.

The contractor is China Road and Bridge Corporation, and the full completion of the road construction is scheduled for 2030.
According to the project, the construction of two tunnels at the "Soek" and "Ashuu-Suu" passes, which are the main facilities of the Barskoon–Bedel highway, has begun. The length of the tunnel at the "Soek" pass will be 5,340 meters, and at the "Ashuu-Suu" pass — 3,840 meters. These tunnels will become some of the longest and most technically complex in the history of Kyrgyzstan.
