(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) ASTANA, Kazakhstan, November 11. Kazakhstan plans to commission 80 renovated railway stations this year, Deputy Minister of Transport Maksat Kaliakparov announced at a government meeting, Trend reports.

The modernization and major repairs are overseen by the national railway company, Kazakhstan Railways, with local authorities serving as contractors.

Currently, design and estimate documents for 100 stations are under state review, and construction works are underway at 121 of 124 sites. Three stations classified as cultural heritage sites will be renovated in 2026 following specialized research.
