Logistic centers to be established

Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ Logistic centers for the "Bogd Khaan" railway and the "Ulaanbaatar" mixed transportation will be established. At its meeting on Monday, the cabinet ordered N.Tomorkhuu, the Minister of Road and Transportation, to work out feasibility studies and designs of the logistic centers with a technical assistance of the Asian Development Bank (ADB), and gave him and the Finance Minister J.Erdenebat an obligation to discuss the financial matter with the ADB. The preliminary feasibility study and design of the "Bogd Khaan" railway have already been drawn up. This railway will be run from the "Rashaant" railway station in Tov aimag’s Batsumber soum to the "Maanit" station, circling a new international airport being constructed in Khoshig valley in Tov province. By the plan, this railway will transport transit freight only to let the railway that crosses the capital city transport international and domestic passengers. This will remove obstacles in the vertical axis, will not let trains with dangerous freight, such as poisonous/explosive substances, cross the city, and reduce a massive pollution of air and soil caused by coal transport. After connecting the new railway with the international airport in “Khoshig” valley, conditions will be created to construct a unified terminal railway for the UB mixed hub and the AN-3 highway. It is projected that the terminal railway will increase the freight flow. A new highway to the new international airport will be run under concession contract, therefore, the expense can be recovered by road toll.
