New highway to be constructed in Ulaanbaatar PDF Print E-mail
Tuesday, 11 November 2008
The government has announced plans to construct a major cross-city road through Ulaanbaatar. 

The 17.5 km. highway will skirt the Bogd Khan Mountain in an attempt to reduce traffic congestion. Also, the new road will necessitate the construction of a suspension bridge running east and west in Ulaanbaatar. 

Officials say Ulaanbaatar has about 400 kilometers of paved roads, built from the 1960s to 1980s, with the ability to handle 40,000 to 50,000 vehicles per day.

During the Stalinist purges of the 1930's almost every monastery in Mongolia was destroyed. In 1979 an atlas was published in Ulaanbaatar by Mr. Rinchen with an overview of more than 900 religious sites that used to exist in Mongolia. However a lot the information listed seems to be not accurate. A research has been initiated to get a better idea of all the buddhist buildings that once stood in Mongolia.
