Vocab question no. 12 - invested + in?

Dear All,

I'm not sure if the way I used invested in is acceptable here...

The total length of the western section of Huozhou-Yonghe Expressway we invested in and constructed is about 71 kilometers.

another way of phrasing it made up by me:

The total length of the western section of Huozhou-Yonghe Expressway invested in and constructed by our company is about 71 kilometers.

Can you help me out here? Thanks!

They both look good to me. Another possibility, not necessarily better than yours: We ( or Our company) invested in and constructed a 71 km section of the western section of (the) Huozhou-Yonghe Expressway.
