Travel on the 89-kilometer Aktobe–Kandyagash section of the national highway became officially tolled on November 15, 2026, the website infohub.kz reports.
According to the national company KazAvtoZhol, the stretch has been incorporated into the existing Kandyagash–Makat toll road, bringing the total length of the tolled route to 469.5 km.
"On the section from km 11+000 to km 87+200, travel is tolled for all categories of transport. On the rest of the highway, the fee is charged only for buses and trucks. For passenger cars, travel remains free," the company's press service explained.
The fee depends on the vehicle category and the payment method. For a passenger car, traveling the entire tolled portion of the route in one direction will cost about 240 tenge with prepayment and 276 tenge when paying after the trip.
Ten control arches have already been installed along the section; they automatically record vehicle license plates and calculate the toll.
