The Sky Mountain Victory Tunnel, the world's longest highway tunnel, spans approximately 22 kilometers, running through the Tian Shan mountain range in northwest China's Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. Connecting the southern and northern regions, the tunnel is a vital infrastructure project. The successful breakthrough of the tunnel marks a significant milestone in the project's progress.
The construction team overcame the challenges of high altitudes and complex geology during the project, employing advanced tunnel boring techniques to ensure the project's steady progress. Upon completion, the tunnel will significantly reduce travel time between the north and south of Xinjiang, enhance transportation efficiency, drive economic growth, and generate numerous employment opportunities, all while bolstering the 'Belt and Road' initiative.
