One of the major concerns about the Qinghai-Tibet Railway when it was under construction was whether its operation would harm the environment along the tracks. "After three years of operations, this railway has proven to be as environmentally friendly as we promised," said Zhang Yongze, Director of the Environmental Protection Bureau of the Tibet Autonomous Region. A number of bridges totaling more than 150 km in length were built to protect the wetlands on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. To minimize damage to the wetlands, engineers created areas by the side of the railroad where they transplanted the turf dug up for construction.
