The ArtuxâErkeshtam Expressway ( Chinese: éżćŸä»âäŒć°ć ä»ćŠé«éć Źè·Ż, Uyghur: ۊۧŰȘÛŰŽ-ŰŠÛ۱کÛŰŽŰȘŰ§Ù ŰłÛ۱ۊÛŰȘÙÙÙ ÛÙÙÙ), commonly referred to as the Ayi Expressway ( Chinese: éżäŒé«éć Źè·Ż) and designated G3013, is a 213.9-kilometre-long roadway (132.9 mi) in the Chinese autonomous region of Xinjiang. [1] It connects the Artux city and Ulugqat County of Kizilsu. It's a spur route of G30.
Route
The former KashgarâErkeshtam Expressway (ćäŒé«éć Źè·Ż) begins in the east at the Takuti Bridge of the G3012 TurpanâHotan Expressway, in the county-level city of Artux. [2] It traverses westward through Ulugqat County, through the village of Ulugqat (also known as Wuqia), which serves as the Chinese immigration checkpoint, [3] before terminating at the border with Kyrgyzstan at Erkeshtam.
The highway is not built to expressway standards for its entire length. Its length is 213.9 km (132.9 mi), but only 77.4 km (48.1 mi) of that is expressway-grade and the rest is second-grade highway, consisting of 19.5 km (12.1 mi) of newly built roadway and 117 km (73 mi) of upgraded roadway. [1]
The route and terminius were renamed for several times, originally it's combined with G3012 as "TurpanâHotanâErkeshtam Expressway", then in 7918 network G3013 is splitted from G3012, called "KashgarâErkeshtam Expressway". In the non-mandatory national standard GB/T 917-2017, the G3013 route is called "TurpanâErkeshtam Expressway", means that this route is concurrent with G3012 between Turpan and Kashgar, but due to difficults on maintaining route signs, in 2022 plan the G3013 is largely shorten, the current terminius is located at Artux to reflect the actual location of eastern junction.
