Kazakhstan continues to upgrade its border infrastructure: by the end of 2025, it plans to modernize five more automobile checkpoints. This was announced by Deputy Chairman of the State Revenue Committee Bakytzhan Slyamov. We are talking about the Temir Baba checkpoint on the border with Turkmenistan, Kazygurt and Tazhen on the border with Uzbekistan, as well as Maykapchagay and Bakhty in the Chinese direction.
Today, there are 52 automobile crossings in the country, six of which have already been modernized. Among them are key points on the border with China (Nur Zholy, Kalzhat, Alakol) and Uzbekistan (Baurzhan Konyspayev, Kaplanbek, Atameken).
Although the cost of the upcoming work is not specified, the authorities emphasize that the upgrade of the checkpoint will improve the efficiency of border trade and simplify border crossing for citizens and vehicles.
