The modernization at the 'Torugart' checkpoint has been successfully completed, during which an electronic queue system for trucks was implemented. These changes were announced by representatives of the JSC "State Customs Infrastructure".

According to the information, the implementation of the electronic queue system significantly improves the organization of cargo movement on one of the most important international transport corridors. Previously, there were often large traffic jams here, sometimes reaching lengths of up to 25 kilometers, which put a strain on the roads and negatively impacted the ecology around Lake Chatyr-Kul.

The new system allows trucks to register in advance and form an electronic queue, making the process more transparent. Vehicles wait in a special area called "Kara-Bulak," from where they proceed to the checkpoint in a pre-established order.

It is worth noting that the project is being implemented by JSC "State Customs Infrastructure" as part of a comprehensive program to improve the country's border infrastructure.

Additionally, large-scale modernization works are being carried out at the 'Torugart' checkpoint: administrative buildings are being reconstructed, areas are being expanded, and a new inspection complex is being built. A modern waiting area has been opened for participants in foreign economic activity. These measures aim to accelerate border crossing, improve conditions for carriers, and increase Kyrgyzstan's transit potential.
