The British Foreign and Commonwealth¹ office reports that the Turkmen-Kazhakh border has been closed until further notice. As always when the Turkmens do things, there is a lack of further information. If you're in Turkmenistan on a transit visa right now and stuck because of this, I recommend contacting the Embassy of your country ASAP.

Re: Turkmen-Kazhakh border currently closed
Asked about the current situation during a trip to Turkmenistan this week. The border is still closed in March 2019.

Temirbaba border crossing
We wish to drive from Aktau to Turkmenbashi via the Temirbaba border crossing? Is this border currently open and is the road fully open?
Many thanks.

Re: Temirbaba (Turkmen-Kazakh) border crossing reports
So I tried to call to the number specified on the Tu bordr crossing page ( +7 708 987 3935) and the guy was pretty angry, he said he has nothing to do with it and does not know anyrhing about Temirbaba. So I suggest delete the info from the site.

One more note, I went to Turkmen embassy in Bishkek today and after some calls they confirmed that the crossing is still closed.
