Uzbekistan Port Assessment
Double landlocked Uzbekistan has no seaports. Its main river port is Termez on the Amu Darya river. Although Termez lacks modern facilities and has a shortage of spare parts, activity there has increased as conditions in neighboring Afghanistan have stabilized. Termez has been an important transfer point for humanitarian supplies entering Afghanistan. Uzbekistan has 1,100 kilometers of inland waterways. Since the mid-1990s, commercial travel on Uzbekistan’s portion of the Amu Darya has been reduced because of low water levels.

Passenger and Cargo Performance Indicator
This ICAO Category II airport is the primary hub of Uzbekistan
Airways, and is the largest international airport in Uzbekistan,
and the busiest in Central Asia. The airport comprises two
terminals: Terminal 2 receives international flights, Terminal 3 is
for domestic traffic.
Terminal 2 was rebuilt in 2001, and is currently undergoing
renovations. It has a capacity of 1000 passengers/hour and serves
more than two million passengers per year. Other facilities include
waiting lounges, CIP and VIP halls, restaurants and bars, currency
exchange offices, duty free shops, airlines ticket counters and
sales offices, and a 24 hour pharmacy. The terminal operates at
near maximum capacities; arriving passengers frequently spend an
average of two hours completing customs and immigration
formalities. Renovations in the departure area have eased
congestion somewhat, but it is still recommended that passengers
arrive two and a half hours prior to departure for international
flights.
Terminal 3 opened in 2011 with a capacity of 400 passengers per
hour. The two terminals are separated by the runway, requiring
passengers transiting from international to domestic flights and
vice versa to exit the airport in order to transfer between
them.
The government of Uzbekistan is planning to relocate Tashkent
Airport to a new site by 2030

2.3 Uzbekistan Road Network
Uzbekistan Road Network
Uzbekistan's road system comprises 42,500 km of major highways and 183,000 km of other roads. It provides connections to all provinces, communities, and neighboring countries. The role of road transport in the national economy is increasing. Road network stretches all over republic and is fairly operating condition with several limitations in winter time, in mountain areas due to heavy snow or ice.

Road Security
Mostly the Road security is good.
Tashkent to Andijan :There is possibility of road congestion during
cotton harvest time. Probably delays in winter time at mountain
passes, due to possible snow fall.
Road stretches (Andijan to Ferghana) :In case of civil unrest or
earth quick scenario it will be better to arrangegovernment i.e.
Ministry of Emergency escort to the south regions
Road from Tashkent to Samargant : There is possibility of road
congestion during cotton harvest time. Probably delays in winter
time at mountain passes, due to possible snow fall.
Road Class and Surface Conditions
Uzbekistan has a developed but inconsistently maintained traffic
infrastructure. Although main roads in central Tashkent are
relatively well maintained, many secondary roads inside and outside
Tashkent, and particularly those in the Tien Shan Mountains, are in
poor condition and may be passable only by four-wheel-drive
vehicles. Driving at night can be quite dangerous because only the
main roads in Tashkent and a few other major cities have
streetlights; rural roads and highways generally are not lit.
Visitors are strongly urged to avoid driving at night outside
Tashkent. The gasoline supply can be sporadic; therefore, travelers
should expect occasional difficulty finding gasoline, particularly
outside Tashkent.
Livestock, as well as farm equipment and carts drawn by animals
that lack lights or reflectors, are found on both urban and rural
roads at any hour. Local drivers are not familiar with safe driving
techniques. Pedestrians in cities and rural areas cross streets
unexpectedly and often without looking for oncoming traffic.
Uzbekistan has a large road police force, which frequently stops
drivers for minor infractions or simple document checks. There have
been reports of harassment of foreign drivers by the road police,
with reported minor police corruption in the form of solicitation
of bribes. Uzbekistan has a “zero tolerance” policy for
driving under the influence of alcohol
