Roads with a foundation and surface thickness of 80 cm are designed for challenging geological conditions and can withstand high transportation loads. These capital structures will provide reliable transportation routes in Mongolia, which is especially important for a country where over 20% of exports and about 80% of imports pass through new highways. The opening of the road will allow cargo from southern and third countries to reach their destinations without hindrance, which, in turn, will improve the living conditions of the local population.

On May 17, a ceremony was held in the Govisumber aimag to inaugurate a 435.6 km road for heavy cargo, connecting the city of Choir and the Zamyn-Uud border point. This road will become a key transit corridor for freight transport in the region.

The Chinese company Zhongshan Urban Construction Investment Group Co., Ltd. has been selected as the investor for the construction of this highway, which will become an important artery for Mongolia's exports and imports. The contractor for the project will be the Chinese state-owned company China Construction Sixth Engineering Bureau Co., Ltd. Specialized equipment has already begun to be delivered to the construction site, and work on the construction of the two-lane road for heavy cargo will start towards the Khoshig Valley.

The technical and economic justification, as well as the design, have been carried out by the company "RCSC" at the request of "Mongolian Special Purpose Road". After the project was approved by the relevant authorities, the route of the road was officially sanctioned.
The following facilities are planned to be built along the route:

Temporary parking every 50 km

Service complexes every 100 km

4 toll booths

470 drainage structures

16 bridges

Animal crossings

The project includes the construction of special structures to prevent flooding and ensure the migration of wild animals, which is of great importance for the ecology of the region.

The road surface structure includes:

4 cm of colored asphalt concrete

4 cm of base asphalt concrete

12 cm of black asphalt

30 cm of cement-stabilized gravel

Total thickness of 80 cm

Roads in the Gobi, such as in the Tavan Tolgoi and Oyu Tolgoi areas, will withstand high loads from heavy machinery, which is particularly relevant in the extreme climate conditions of the country. This highway will be an important step for Mongolia, opening new opportunities for transit and trade.
