A severe storm at the Too-Ashuu Pass has disrupted traffic on the Bishkek–Osh highway. Due to weather conditions, drivers are facing poor visibility, and the movement of heavy-duty vehicles has become particularly difficult.
Truck restrictions and emergency services
According to an Erkin-Too source, the bad weather has affected the road section between the 128th and 130th kilometers. Currently, ZHTM-9 employees are continuing road maintenance operations as usual, constantly monitoring weather conditions and the state of the road surface.
There is a possibility that if the storm does not subside, temporary restrictions may be reintroduced for heavy trucks.
Drivers are strongly advised to exercise caution, reduce speed, and strictly follow traffic rules.
Context
The Bishkek–Osh highway is a key transport artery connecting the northern and southern regions of the country, and the Too-Ashuu Pass is one of the most challenging sections of the route due to its high altitude.
