Can a sedan take the 318 Sichuan-Tibet Line?

[LeAlexa]

Currently, sedans can travel on the 318 Sichuan-Tibet Line. The entire route spans 2,146 kilometers, with over 500 kilometers covered by expressways such as the Ya'an-Kangding Expressway and the Linzhi-Lhasa Expressway. However, due to the mountainous terrain, it is advisable to opt for SUVs or off-road vehicles. Here are some details about the Sichuan-Tibet Line: 1. Overview: The overall road conditions on the Sichuan-Tibet Line are not ideal. Firstly, the roads are steep with numerous high peaks—there are 15 major peaks to cross, along with continuous curves like those at Zheduo Mountain. Secondly, the road conditions are poor, often encountering flash floods, mudslides, landslides, and falling rocks. 2. Additional Information: Although large-scale road construction has been carried out on the Sichuan-Tibet Line in recent years, many sections remain temporary detours. These detours lack solid roadbeds and, after being compressed by heavy vehicles, develop deep ruts. Construction units often delay repairs, making it impossible for low-clearance vehicles to pass.
