On February 5, 2025, the "Gisht-Kuprik" – "Zhibek Zholy" (Chernyayevka) border checkpoint will be temporarily closed for four months for the passage of individuals and vehicles.

In light of this, pedestrian, passenger vehicle, and bus crossings are advised to be rerouted through the "Zangiata" (Uzbekistan) and "Kaplanbek" (Kazakhstan) checkpoints, which reopened on January 28, 2025, following modernization. However, restrictions remain in place for cargo transport at these points.

The alternative Kaplanbek checkpoint is approximately 20 km from "Zhibek Zholy", and 115 km from Shymkent, with a travel time of about 1 hour and 40 minutes.

Uzbekistan borders five countries: Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, and Turkmenistan and is dotted with 12 official border crossing points listed below.

Border Crossing Points between Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan

# of c/p	Name of Crossing Points in Uzbekistan	Location in Uzbekistan	Name of Crossing Points in Kyrgyzstan	Location in Kyrgyzstan	Operating regime
1	Dustlik – highway	Andijan region Hodjaabad district	Dostuk – highway	Osh region Kara-Suy district	24 hours
2	Uchkurgan – highway	Namangan region Uchkurgan district	Kensay – highway	Djalal-Abad region Nooken district	daylight

Border Crossing Points between Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan

# of c/p	Name of Crossing Points in Uzbekistan	Location in Uzbekistan	Name of Crossing Points in Turkmenistan	Location in Turkmenistan	Operating regime
1	Alat – highway	Bukhara region Alat district	Farap – highway	Lebap Velayat Farap district	24 hours
2	Shavat – highway	Khorezm region Shavat district	Dashoguz – highway	Dashoguz Velayat, S. Niyazov district	daylight
3	Khodjeyli – highway	Republic of Karakalpakstan Nukus district	Kunya-Urgench – highway	Dashoguz Velayat, Kunya-Urgench district	9.00-18.00

It is highly advisable to arrive to the border crossing points of Uzbekistan-Turkmenistan no later than 16:30, although the border works till 18:00, as later arrival decreases your chances to cross them due to time required for border formalities and distance up to another country’s border.
The border crossing point on Turkmenistan side might close for lunch (not a usual case) that will add some hours to reach the neighbouring country.
