    This road was originally built by Russians in 1960s, before that Kyrgyzstan was basically disjointed by mountains and there was no way to travel from North to South without going through Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. The 2.2 km tunnel mr. Bald showed us is a true engineering marvel of its time built by Moscow metro builders at the height of 3500 m above sea level.
