Traffic restrictions in Bishkek and Issyk-Kul from August 30 to September 6

Kyrgyzstan is implementing significant traffic restrictions in its capital, Bishkek, and the Issyk-Kul region from August 30 to September 6. These measures are in response to the upcoming high-level state events scheduled to take place during this period.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs (MVD) announced that traffic will be restricted on several key routes in Bishkek. These include the road from Manas International Airport along the Vasiliev highway, Fuchik Street, and the avenues of Chuy, Manas, and Chingiz Aitmatov. Restrictions will also be in effect on Abdyrakhmanov, Baitik Baatyr, Masaliev, Zhayil Baatyr, and Barpy Alykulov streets.

In the Chuy region, temporary traffic limitations will be imposed on certain roads while events are ongoing. Similarly, in the Issyk-Kul region, specific road sections will experience temporary closures or limitations. These include the route from Tamchy International Airport to the city of Cholpon-Ata, the area around the hippodrome, and the road leading to the Kyrcyn Gorge.

These upcoming events include the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit and the World Nomad Games, both significant international gatherings hosted by Kyrgyzstan. The MVD has requested understanding from both residents and visitors of the capital, urging them to plan their travel routes in advance to account for the disruptions.
