Kazakhstan is continuing its large-scale modernization of
vehicle checkpoints. Currently, nine border crossing points with China,
Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan are being upgraded. According to the relevant
ministry, the work is expected to be completed this year. As a result, border
crossing times are anticipated to be reduced to half an hour. Additionally, 30
more checkpoints will undergo phased modernization from 2026 to 2030. The
complete upgrade is set to double throughput capacity from 100,000 to 200,000
vehicles per day. In total, 52 checkpoints are located along the state border.
Furthermore, an automated electronic queue system has been implemented at all
10 automobile checkpoints on the external border of the Eurasian Economic
Union. This system has helped eliminate traffic congestion along major national
roads and ensured transparency in the transportation process.
