6/1/2004 15:18

Shanghai's roads add up to 6485.61 kilometers by the end of 2003, and the city's highways will reach more than 540 kilometers by 2005, the transportation authority revealed yesterday.

Inter-city highways linking Shanghai with neighboring Jiangsu and Zhejiang Provinces will go through a facelift in the next two years, with more highroads constructed and traffic lanes added.

Construction on several freeways connecting downtown Shanghai and its suburban Jiading and Jinshan and city's outskirts will be completed in late 2004 or early 2005, adding Shanghai's general transportation volume.
