Drivers report that their vehicles are skidding on icy sections of the road, and many are unable to make it up the inclines. Tense situations are arising on the highway as some motorists attempt to bypass the jams by using the oncoming lane, creating additional hazards.
The police and road patrol service are monitoring the situation and temporarily not allowing vehicles with summer tires to pass.
According to local residents, the most challenging conditions are observed on the southern slope of the pass, where snow accumulation and ice create additional difficulties.
Road services strongly urge drivers to refrain from traveling over the Too-Ashuu pass until weather conditions improve and the road is made safe.
