The Shitian Expressway will link North West China with central China, providing a high speed route to Tianshui in mountainous Gansu Province. The total mileage is 750 km, of which 480 km is in Shaanxi Province.
Construction of the Expressway commenced in late 2008 and is expected to open to traffic in 2011.

The Baotou to Xi’an railway will run through the Weinan region of Shaanxi province, where WCC’s Pucheng plant is located. The estimated cement consumption for this section is approximately 600,000 tons. The line will be 935 km long and will connect Baotou in Inner-Mongolia and Xi’an in Shaanxi Province.
