Kurgan to Extend One Embankment and Upgrade Another
In 2026, Kurgan will continue upgrades for two of its embankments, according to the city administration.
Two sections of the Tobol River embankment are currently in the design and estimate documentation stage. These are the stretch from Klimov Street to Burov-Petrov Street, near the Vorobyovy Gory shopping center and the section from 7th Bolnichnaya Street in Shevelevka to the Energetik stadium-park.
Another new embankment is appearing on the shore of Lake Chernoye (Black Lake) in Zaozerny. Lighting poles have already been installed, and piles are being driven to build a boardwalk. It was reported last November that the first phase of work would cover the area from Pervomaysky Prospekt to Maltsev Prospekt. The pedestrian zone will stretch for 627 meters. However, as verified by our correspondent, the lighting poles extend all the way to the Rayony Kvartaly residential complex closer to Mostostroiteley Street.
As part of the embankment upgrades, in addition to the boardwalk, guardrails and ramps will be installed, piers with decorative lighting will be built, the bank slopes will be reinforced, and trees and shrubs will be planted.
Construction of the Black Lake embankment began last year. According to government procurement data, the work costs 64.7 million rubles (approximately $718,000 at current rates). The contract stipulates completion by June 15, 2026.
