Three western Mongolian provinces have now been connected with the capital city of  Ulaanbaatar by highway. The new road will be comfortable and time-saving for travelers and tourists alike. The 127.6 km long highway was constructed between Bayankhongor and Altai.
Construction started in 2015; however some problems emerged. These were resolved in 2019 when the government appointed a new contractor to construct the remaining 66.7 km of the road.
