At present, the workers involved in the construction do not seize the duration of relaxation, advancing in an orderly manner, and fighting against the wind in the depths of the vast sea of sand. To facilitate construction, the workers set up the camp beside the sand hills, and live and eat in the desert. Everyday necessities and oil supplies for machinery and equipment are regularly distributed.

The Xinjiang Yuli to Qiemo Desert Highway, with a total length of more than 330 kilometers, is the third highway that runs through the north and south of the Taklimakan Desert. After completion, it will help improve the travel conditions of the people in southern Xinjiang and promote local development.
