Kazakhstan modernizes 9 checkpoints to reduce border crossing time

Kazakhstan plans to modernize nine checkpoints on the borders with China, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan, Kazinform News Agency learned from the Kazakh Government's press service.

The modernization aims to boost the border checkpoints' daily throughput capacity by 6 times, on average from 170 to 960 vehicles, as well as to reduce border crossing time to 30 minutes.

Modernization works are set to be completed in 2025.

On top of that, all 10 automobile border checkpoints operating along the external border of the Eurasian Economic Union announced the introduction of an automated electronic queue system. The implementation of the system enabled to eliminate vehicle congestion along major highways and ensure transparency of the transportation process.
