    GOLMUD, Qinghai, May 3 (Xinhuanet) -- Traffic flow at the pass of Kunlun Mountains, at an altitude of over 4,000 meters, on the Qinghai-Tibet highway has resumed.

    Several truck drivers told Xinhua at 22:30 Monday at the checkpoint in Golmud, the terminal of the Qinghai-Tibet highway, that they had just come down from the mountain pass and traffic there was restored with the help from two railway policemen but several hundred vehicles were still waiting to pass.

    Over one thousand vehicles have jammed parts of the Qinghai-Tibet highway since around 10: am Monday due to three traffic accidents at the pass of the Dangla Mountains, Fenghuoshan, an hour drive northward away from the Dangla Mountains pass, and the pass of Kunlun Mountains.

    The Qinghai-Tibet highway is one of the major transport routes to Tibet, linking Tibet with northwest China's Qinghai Province from south to north. Enditem
