All old-fashioned billboards in Bishkek to be removed and replaced with LED-screens by end of summer

- Vice-Mayor of Bishkek Azamat Kadyrov in an interview with AKIpress told about the work on replacing metal billboards with LED screens. "There are 430 old-style billboards in Bishkek. To date, more than 100 billboards have been dismantled and the work will go on.

By the end of summer, all billboards will be dismantled. LED screens are a requirement of the time. All developed cities are moving away from metal billboards and using new technologies.

LED-screens create convenience for advertisers: LED-screens can simultaneously place several ads unlike billboards with only banner of one company. LED-screens are the property of businesses, while the location is the property of the mayor's office, who leases land plots to companies to install LED screens," he explained. The city authorities pilot launched a project starting from Tokombaev street.

Now there are 108 contracts for installation of LED-screens on that streeet. More than half of them have already been installed, the work on the rest is in progress, he said. "Now we are developing a concept so that the city receives funds from outdoor advertising," he added.
