Border crossings Uzbekistan-Tajikistan

[NixyJungle]

I read about border crossings on the website.
Just wanted to check with travelers recently crossed some borders.

What's the situation on the border crossing Denau-Tursunzoda? Many people crossing? Possible to hitchhike or get a cheap taxi?
What about crossing Kokand-Konibodom? I read there are many cheap taxis-marshutkas? Still the same?
Pity that the closest border crossing is closed Samarkand-Panjakent.

Thank you for your answers.

Well, sorry for the late answer, in case I have Infos about how to cross from fergana valley. Pre president death, it was around July. Was pretty easy.

I did fergana city - beshariq - border - kaniboodom - khujand

I took sharing taxi only from the Tajikistan border till khujand and than another sharing taxi till Dushanbe. The Uzbek part can be done with marshutkas and quite cheap.

Hi there, I need to do Taschkent- Duschanbe end of July and do not want to do it again by bike. Are there any public transports available to do it in 1-2 days? Thanks Roger
