The Tashkent–Andijan toll road project has been under discussion since 2019. It includes the construction of a new tunnel through the Kamchik Pass. The Public–Private Partnership (PPP) Development Agency previously estimated the toll cost to be between $5 and $6. The highway is to be built in three phases over six years:

• Tashkent to Angren (78 km)
• Angren to Pop (93 km)
• Pop to Andijan (143 km)

At the Tashkent International Investment Forum (TIIF) 2024, Deputy Minister of Transport Jasurbek Choriev stated that the estimated cost of the highway was $4.65 billion. A revised estimate presented in October put the project cost at $4.28 billion.
