Traffic capacity and safety of Sichuan-Tibet highway improved in the past decades.
Nov.18, 2019 -- The Sichuan-Tibet highway, which links southwest China's Sichuan Province and Tibet Autonomous Region, was put into operation on Dec. 25, 1954 with a length of over 2,000 kilometers.
Over the past 65 years, the central and local governments have invested heavily to lift the highway's traffic capacity and safety. Besides more tunnels and bridges, almost all sections of the highway have been widened and asphalted.
