New Keskan-Yor border checkpoint to open on Uzbekistan-Kyrgyzstan border
Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan have agreed to open a new border checkpoint, Keskan-Yor, which will be twice as large as the Dustlik crossing point. President Shavkat Mirziyoyev announced this on September 24 at a meeting in Andijan.
According to the head of state, instructions were given to prepare the facility's design and begin its construction within three months. Authorities estimate that the throughput capacity of the new crossing point will be two to three times higher than the current one, and cargo will clear the border approximately one week faster.
The meeting also revealed plans to begin practical work on the construction of the Tashkent–Andijan toll highway in 2027. In addition, there are plans to launch the design of another 78-kilometer toll highway along the Khanabad–Andijan route.
According to the president, once the China–Kyrgyzstan–Uzbekistan railway is launched, cargo traffic through the region will increase tenfold, reaching 15 million tons per year. In this regard, instructions were given to begin implementing a $600 million logistics complex project on a 300-hectare site in Kurgantepa district and the city of Khanabad by the end of the year.
What it means
The project for the Keskan-Yor border checkpoint must be designed and construction started within three months, while work to set up a 300-hectare logistics complex in Kurgantepa district and Khanabad is instructed to begin by the end of the year. The start of practical work on the Tashkent–Andijan toll highway is scheduled for 2027.
