The Turpan–Erkeshtam Expressway (Chinese: 吐鲁番—伊尔克什坦高速公路, Uighur: قەشقەر-ئەركەشتام يۇقىرى سۈرئەتلىك تاشيولى), commonly referred to as the Tuyi Expressway (Chinese: 吐伊高速公路) and designated G3013, is a 213.9-kilometre-long roadway (132.9 mi) in the Chinese autonomous region of Xinjiang.[1] It connects the Toksun County of Turpan, Hoxud, Yanqi counties and Korla city of Bayingolin, Tiemenguan, Luntai County of Bayingolin, Kuqa, Xinhe, Onsu counties, Aksu City and Kalpin County of Aksu, Maralbexi, Payzawat counties of Kashgar Prefecture, Artux city and Ulugqat County of Kizilsu. It's a spur route of G30.

Route[]

The former Kashgar–Erkeshtam Expressway (喀伊高速公路) begins in the east at the Takuti Bridge of the G3012 Turpan–Hotan 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]

Under the modification of national standard GB/T 917-2017, the Kashgar-Erkeshtam Expressway has renamed to Turpan–Erkeshtam Expressway, but the route number G3013 is retained.
