Indeed, the roadsigns are already there, although nobody tells you it's a dead end...
It's a beautiful ride in the Naryn river canyon (the stretch from Min Kush to Kazarman), but still missing a few bridges...
We met a couple elderly Swedish guys in a landcruiser who wanted to go to Kazarman from Jalalabad. They just followed the new road until the end... and were told by the Chinese that the road is still in construction so they turned back to the main road and were driving to Bishkek instead...  The turn-off to the Kaldaman pass gravel road is not marked at all so it's pretty easy to miss.
Note that the road does serve one useful purpose, easy access to the Saimalu Tash park entrance from Kazarman.
