Kazakhstan may
build a new dry port. Its construction, planned to be carried
out in two stages, is expected to be completed by the end of 2027. According to the governor’s office
of the Almaty region, the project «International digital transport and logistics
hub ‘Dry port Kolzhat’» will be implemented on 8,500 hectares of land. It provides for a full cycle with developed infrastructure. The project
includes creating temporary storage warehouses, service centers for
transportation, as well as facilities for providing public, brokerage, and
other auxiliary services. A center for exporting goods will be established as
well. The dry port will contribute to increased freight traffic from China and
the modernization of the Kolzhat checkpoint.
