Sarens expands Khorgos border capacity: Altynkol connection in 2-3 years

Khorgos checkpoint on the China–Kazakhstan border is one of the busiest railway borders in Eurasia.

The Altynkol connection

Sarens is building a new Altynkol railway connection to reduce congestion at Khorgos.

The project is expected to be completed in 2-3 years, significantly increasing capacity.

The effect on transit times

Freight trains currently wait for days at Khorgos, affecting transit times to Uzbekistan.

The Altynkol connection will accelerate cargo delivery from China to Uzbekistan and the rest of Central Asia.

This will be a game-changer for Uzbekistan's logistics, cutting delivery times by 2-3 days.
