The critical infrastructure promises to reduce travel times across the middle section of the Tianshan Mountains from several hours to about 20 minutes.
The tunnel is a key project of the Urumqi-Yuli Expressway, which runs from the regional capital of Urumqi in northern Xinjiang to Yuli County in southern Xinjiang.
The expressway is expected to open to traffic in 2025.

"I'm very happy to witness the breakthrough of the Tianshan Shengli Tunnel. The moment it broke through was incredibly exciting. I've spent four years deep in the Tianshan Mountains, and I think all the effort and hardship were all worth it."
