About China's West Region Highway

China will link up the road network in its western region by introducing advanced road construction technology over the next two decades. The road network upgrade is expected to bring prosperity to western areas as the Silk Road did to the region in ancient China. By 2010, China is expected to complete the construction of nine artery roads in the west and build about 150,000 kilometers of roads linking each village. In the next 10 to 15 years, China is likely to make breakthroughs in the development of new road construction materials and technology. Information technology will also be applied to the management of high-level expressways.
