The G3019 Bole–Alashankou Expressway (Chinese: 博乐－阿拉山口高速公路), commonly referred to as the Bo'a Expressway (Chinese: 博阿高速公路), is an expressway under construction between Jinghe County and Alashankou in the Chinese autonomous region of Xinjiang. It will serve as a connection between Alashankou, which serves as a major border crossing between China and Kazakhstan known as the Alataw Pass, and the county-level city of Bole. The expressway is an auxiliary route of the G30 Lianyungang–Khorgas Expressway.
Despite its name, the expressway begins just south of the county-level city of Bole, in Jinghe County, and terminates south of Alashankou, at an interchange with the future G3018 Jinghe–Alashankou Expressway, near the present-day Bole railway station on the Northern Xinjiang railway. The G3018 Jinghe–Alashankou Expressway will continue northward to Alashankou.[2] The expressway will be 72.44 kilometers (45.01 mi) in length and is expected to open by the end of 2018.[1]
