According to information from the Road Safety Department of the Jalal-Abad Regional Police Department, passage through the pass section is closed. The decision to temporarily restrict traffic was issued by the akims of the Suzak and Toguz-Toro districts.
Reasons for closure and risks for drivers
The primary reason for the restrictions is heavy snowfall characteristic of the winter period. According to the road police, the large amount of snow makes traveling through the pass unsafe for people.
Context
Sary-Kyr Pass is located in the Toguz-Toro district and serves as an important link between Jalal-Abad and the village of Kazarmán. Last year, on November 5, a tragic incident was recorded on this section: a 30-year-old resident of Tash-Kumyr froze to death while traveling through the pass.
