On September 6, 2026, due to snowfall on the Hashilegendaban section of the Duku Highway in Xinjiang, the road surface was covered with snow, and the highway maintenance unit was carrying out snow removal operations. The snowfall was still continuing, and the road was not yet safe for passage.

To ensure the safety of tourists, traffic police in Urumqi, in conjunction with traffic police in Nileke County, have implemented temporary two-way traffic control on the section from Urumqi Post Station to Qiaerma. The reopening time will be announced separately. (Source: CCTV News)
