The article highlights the role of the international transport corridor (ITC) in the Eurasian integration processes, analyzes existing ITC taking into account Russian interests. Given the high degree of influence on the increase of the transit balancing factors and the functioning of the national unification of transport networks, their general competitiveness in the global market, the authors identify the main challenges facing the countries of the region, the solution of which will have a positive impact on the integration processes in Eurasia. We consider the causes and consequences of activation of the PRC in the implementation of the "Silk Road Economic Belt" concept (EPSHP). The strategic initiative of the Silk Road Economic Belt (SREB) proposed by the leaders of the fifth generation of Chinese leaders, is a kind of a new foreign policy strategy of Beijing. SREB - is an attempt to extend the economic (and political future) impact of China's along the land corridor, including Russia, the countries of Central and South Asia, the Middle East, Eastern Europe and the EU itself. The Chinese vision involves the implementation of China's interests. This increases the relevance of search solutions. EBSR aims to increase transcontinental land transport from the east coast of China and other areas in Europe. For Russia, this is not only a challenge but also a chance to find their place in this project. China will spend more money on infrastructure development in the region, the economic development of these spaces. It is not only the sphere of energy. China plans to invest in transportation and other industries. This is a complex project, which is still being finalized, and many details are still unclear. The authors analyze the interests of Russia and China in the transport sector in the Central Asian region, which are not only an occasion to positive mutual cooperation, but also the area of competition between the two powers competing for influence in Central Asia. Despite this, the Chinese concept of Russia EPSHP transport system can be considered as a link intercontinental transport integration will help overcome the consequences of the sanctions blockade of the Russian financial sector from the West. In this regard, the authors define a number of internal and external challenges and threats, which, without leveling the implementation of promising transport projects would be hampered or delayed.
