Kazakhstan opens Kazygurt checkpoint on border with Uzbekistan

Kazakhstan has launched the upgraded Kazygurt automobile border checkpoint on the border with Uzbekistan, the press service of the Kazakh government reported.

The Kazyghurt checkpoint has undergone a major overhaul, now featuring automated vehicle registration systems, advanced scanning technologies, weight and dimension controls, X-ray machines, thermal imaging devices, and radiation monitoring tools.

The checkpoint has significantly improved border-crossing efficiency, reducing wait times to just 30 minutes and increasing the daily throughput capacity to 1,000 vehicles. Traffic volume has surged 2.5 times, from 640,000 vehicles in 2022 to 1.5 million currently.
