China will build
a 85,000-kilometer-expressway network in the coming 30 years,
Zhang Chunxian, minister of communications said Thursday at a
press conference held by the Information Office of State Council.
Formed by seven lines from Beijing, nine lines from
north to south and 18 from east to west, the network will connect
all cities with a population above 200,000.
By the end of 2004, 34,000 kilometers of expressway
had been in use in China.
