Minister for Environment and Tourism L.Gansukh has held a meeting to discuss construction of a road to transport coal from  Tavantolgoi, Oyutolgoi, and Gashuunsukhait .  Officials from the Ministry of Road, Transportation, Construction and City Development and representatives of Oyutolgoi, Tavantolgoi, Energy Resource, Erdenes MGL and Coal Road companies attended the meeting.

At present, about 500 trucks, each carrying about 80-100 tons of coal, much above the capacity, use mostly unpaved roads to the Chinese border. This is a threat to environmental and traffic safety. It also damages the roads. 

The minister wants paved roads to be ready by January 1, 2011.
