Description
As the third leg of the Xinjiang Highway Project, the Kuitun-Sailimuhu Highway (KSH) construction project is an important part of the National Trunk Highway System (NTHS) as well as of the main East-West corridor in Xinjiang. As part of the NTHS, the KSH connects Kuitun (the end of the Urumqi-Kuitun Expressway financed under the Second Xinjiang Highway Project) to Sailimu Lake (about 120 km from the border with Khazakstan). This route is also the main trunk line of Xinjiang, serving an area with large and diverse economic development potential, and an important international communication line dating back to the ancient Silk Road.
