To prevent the highway from being buried by sand, constructors have set up 58 million square meters of grass grids and more than 900 km of barriers along the road.

The opening of the highway has boosted the confidence of enterprises to invest in areas along the route.

A husbandry company in Qiemo County has raised more than 6,000 cattle. "The road has saved nearly 1,000 yuan for each cow in transportation and breeding costs, and we plan to invest another 500 million yuan to expand the breeding scale," said Guo Chengli, deputy manager of the company.
