On June 30, 2024, the Wusu–Weili Expressway—spanning the Tianshan Mountains—officially opened to full traffic. Stretching approximately 318 kilometers, this expressway is a key national transportation project under China’s 14th Five-Year Plan and provides the most direct high-speed link between northern and southern Xinjiang. Its most challenging component, the Tianshan Victory Tunnel, extends 22.1 kilometers, making it the longest highway tunnel in China and one of the longest under construction at high altitudes globally. With the opening of this route, travel time between Urumqi and Weili has been reduced from about 7 hours to just 3 hours, significantly enhancing regional connectivity and boosting economic and social exchanges between northern and southern Xinjiang. The project also plays a vital role in advancing the Belt and Road Initiative, strengthening infrastructure in border regions, and promoting tourism and resource development along the corridor. Engineers overcame extreme challenges—including frigid temperatures, high altitude, and active seismic zones—demonstrating China’s advanced capabilities in large-scale infrastructure construction.
2024年6月30日，穿越天山的乌尉高速公路（乌鲁木齐至尉犁）正式全线通车。这条全长约318公里的高速公路，是国家‘十四五’重点交通工程，也是新疆南北疆之间最便捷的高速通道。其中最具挑战性的工程——天山胜利隧道，全长22.1公里，是目前中国最长的高速公路隧道，也是世界在建高海拔地区最长的高速公路隧道之一。乌尉高速通车后，乌鲁木齐至尉犁的行车时间由原来的7小时缩短至3小时左右，极大提升了区域交通效率，促进了南疆与北疆的经济联系和人员往来。此外，该项目对推动‘一带一路’倡议、加强边疆地区基础设施建设、带动沿线旅游与资源开发具有重要意义。工程建设过程中克服了高寒、高海拔、强地震带等复杂地质条件，体现了中国基建技术的先进水平和攻坚能力。
