Construction work on a new expressway project in China is now starting. The new route will run from Lantianxiang in Huizhou City to Xinliangwu in Wengyuan County. The work is being carried out from Wengyuan and will gear up in due course. Completion of the project has been set for 2020 and it is expected to cost some US$1.84 billion.
The expressway will feature three lanes in either direction along its 83km length, featuring a speed limit of 100km/h. Once the new route is complete it is expected to reduce journey time between Xinfeng County and Shaoguan City from three hours at present to two hours.
