Trolleybuses in Urgench

In 1998 came the overland line 2 to Khiva, near the border with Turkmenistan, to complete the expansion of the trolleybus system.

[1] On 26 October 2009, the Government of Uzbekistan decided to close the remaining trolleybus systems in Jizzakh and Namangan at the end of 2009, and in the capital Tashkent during 2010.

[2] Since then, a short extension section in Khiva, including a link to a depot, has been under construction, with commissioning scheduled for summer 2010.

In the city centers of Urgench and Khiva, the route followed by this line is determined by one-way streets.

The Khiva terminus is on the northern edge of the Itchan Kala fortress (now a World Heritage Site), east of its north gate.

Another, not yet operational section (not shown on the map), branches off immediately after the Khiva terminus, but is not yet connected with the rest of the system.

They had been manufactured in the Škoda factory in Ostrov nad Ohri in the Czech Republic.
