Discussions are ongoing on social media regarding the temporary closure of some stations of the above-ground metro in Tashkent. This was reported by Upl.uz.
Additionally, various rumors are circulating about the disruption and reconstruction of certain routes. In particular, videos showing the removal of new rails on a recently launched route are causing concern among users.
However, the Tashkent metro officially denied these rumors with a statement. According to Tuychi Mirzaev, head of the press service of the Tashkent metro, the ongoing work is not related to dismantling or reconstruction.
These activities are related to scheduled technical inspections and the elimination of deficiencies, as well as preventive maintenance, and are being carried out in accordance with international standards. It was reported that 14 stations on the above-ground ring route between the "Technopark" and "Kipchak" stations have been operational for several years.
According to international experience, it is necessary to conduct preventive work after a certain period to ensure safety and assess service quality on new metro routes. This is a simple and mandatory process aimed at maintaining the reliability and safety of the system.
Additionally, it was previously reported that 7 metro stations would be closed due to planned work in Tashkent. During these inspections, the transport prosecutor's office identified serious violations of the law.
These situations indicate that necessary measures are being taken to ensure the safe and stable operation of the metro.
