On August 30, the Yitunbulake-Ruoqiang Expressway, invested and constructed by CCCC, was officially opened to traffic. The travel time from Yitunbulake to Ruoqiang is 3 hours shorter than the original travel through G315. As the third highway in and out of Xinjiang, the expressway is important for promoting economic development and improving people's livelihood in southern Xinjiang as well as to driving regional economic and social development.
