Two entry points into the capital of Tajikistan — from Tursunzade and Bokhtar — will have Weigh-in-Motion (WIM) control points for trucks and oversized vehicles. After the installation of these points, vehicles weighing over 40 tons will be required to pay a certain amount.
This was reported to “Asia-Plus” by the Ministry of Transport of Tajikistan, noting that this decision was made to prevent the rapid deterioration of the roads from Dushanbe to Tursunzoda and Dushanbe to Bokhtar.
According to the source, the agreement to install these points was signed on July 21, 2025, between the Ministry of Transport of Tajikistan and the company Kvadrat System LLC from the United Arab Emirates. According to the document, the company is to complete the construction work within 8 months.
The ministry reports that the installation and connection of the weight control system for trucks and oversized vehicles at the two entry points to Dushanbe began in December 2025, and it is expected that the work in this direction will be completed in August.
The agency stated that only oversized and cargo vehicles will be checked at the weight control points, and if the weight exceeds 40 tons, a certain amount will be paid. Currently, the amount is unknown.
The source reported that after the completion of the installation of the vehicle weight control system on these two highways and its acceptance by the state commission, these facilities will be transferred to the management of the State Unitary Enterprise “Center for Certification of Work and Services in the Field of Transport” of the State Transport Supervision and Regulation Service.
The agency added that the installation of the vehicle weight control system while traveling on these roads is being carried out as part of the “Improvement of Transport Connections in Central Asia, BRAMOM-4” project, funded by the World Bank.
Currently, the only toll road in Tajikistan is the Dushanbe — Chanak highway. On this road, several toll collection points for the use of the road by passenger and cargo vehicles have been established.
