On the Kyrgyz side, a rather poor road goes west over a pass or divide into the Alay Valley and on to Sary-Tash, where the M41 highway leads north to Osh in the Ferghana Valley and the European road E60 to the west.
A road runs from here southwest down the Kyzyl-Ünkür valley 45 km or more to Bazar-Korgon on the main M41 highway near the Uzbek border.
In the 1985 film Spies Like Us, the decoy GLG-20s played by Chevy Chase and Dan Aykroyd are told to meet their contacts on the "road to Dushanbe," a reference to the M41 highway.
To the south, after leaving the Alay Valley the M41 deteriorates quickly and rises to the 4280m Kyzyl-Art pass into Tajikistan.
To the south, highway M41 curves around the eastern end of the reservoir toward Karaköl, and Jalal-Abad city.
