Major Highway Under Construction in Southwest China

Work on a 118-km-long expressway started Saturday in Zunyi, a city in southwest China's Guizhou Province.

The expressway, which will cost 6.9 billion yuan to build, including 200 million U.S. dollars in loans from the Asian Development Bank, is a crucial part of the major highway linking southwest China's Chongqing Municipality to the port city of Zhanjiang in south China's Guangdong Province.

Because the expressway will run through a mountainous region, 84 bridges and 17 tunnels need to be built.

The total highway, 1,314 km long and scheduled for completion by 2005, will run through a municipality, two provinces and a autonomous region including Chongqing, Guizhou, Guangdong and Guangxi. More than 60 percent of it has already been completed.

Analysts said the construction of this highway will lay a solid foundation for the country's drive to develop the western region and boost the development of local economy.
