Large pavers and road rollers lay cement stabilized bases in sections to prepare for the asphalt paving. The Altay-Urumqi Expressway is located in the northern part of Xinjiang, with a total length of more than 340 kilometers, crossing the Gurbantungut Desert and the Junggar Basin. The Altay-Urumqi Expressway will become the first desert expressway in Xinjiang after completion. The construction is expected to complete within this year.
