The road will remain open for vehicles from June through November, officials said. Drivers are urged to avoid speeding and strictly follow traffic rules.

The North—South alternative road is a 433-kilometer strategic highway connecting the north and south of Kyrgyzstan, bypassing the Bishkek—Osh road. The route runs through Balykchy—Kochkor—Kazarmaan—Jalal-Abad and includes complex engineering structures, including a tunnel through Kok-Art Pass of approximately 3.8 kilometers.

Construction of the road began in 2014, and its full commissioning has been repeatedly postponed.
