December 25, 2025, the Kani-Kurgan road border crossing checkpoint on the Russian-China border was opened after reconstruction by Vice Premier Vitaly Saveliev in a solemn ceremony held via Videocon.
During the reconstruction, the number of lanes was increased from 4 to 16 resulting in the road checkpoint capacity extension by 4.5 times.
The capacity of Kani-Kurgan is now 862 vehicles and some 5,500 passengers a day.
The capacity extension allows of increasing cargo traffic between Blagoveshchensk in Russia and Heihe in China from 1 nm tons to 5 mn tons per annum.
