The Abu Ali Sino (Avicenna) Monument that was installed in Dushanbe in 1984 will be relocated from its original installation in the Qariyai Bolo area and will be installed at new buildings of Tajik Medical University.
The Avicenna Monument will be relocated in connection with implementation of the project aimed at upgrading a section of the 62-kilometer road linking Dushanbe to the Uzbek border.
Recall, a three-route flyover will be built in Dushanbe’s 82nd neighborhood. China Xinjiang Beixin Construction & Engineering (Group) Co. Ltd. has won a tender construction of the flyover.
The estimated budget for construction of this flyover is nearly 25.5 million U.S. dollars. Construction of the flyover is part of the Dushanbe-Uzbekistan Border Road Improvement Project.
Tajikistan and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) in September 2014 signed a loan agreement on the Dushanbe-Uzbekistan Border Road Improvement Project, which provides for rehabilitation of a 4.6-kilometer section of the road in Dushanbe between the Avicenna Monument and the Western Gate, including the 82nd and Avicenna roundabouts.
The Dushanbe-Uzbek Border road consists of 5 sections. The upgrade of Sections 2 to 5 (from Western Gate of Dushanbe to the Tajik – Uzbek border) of approximately 57 km in length was financed by ADB grant. Section 1 of approximately 4.6 km in length is located within the urban area (between the Avicenna Monument and the Western Gate of Dushanbe).
According to the Tajik president’s official website, the three-route flyover will be constructed in two years. The project also provides for construction of four underpasses and a 125-meter bridge.
