Shanghai to Jiangsu
In Shanghai work has started on the Chongming-Qidong Expressway, an important part of a regional project that will shorten travel time between Shanghai and the eastern Jiangsu Province by nearly half.
When finished in 2012, the expressway will link Chongming Island with Qidong, a coastal city in Shanghai’s neighboring Jiangsu Province.
He Ping, of the province’s transportation authority, said, ‘The expressway is the first cross-river project in Jiangsu Province that directly connects to Shanghai from north of the Yangtze River.’
It marks the final phase of the Shanghai-Chongming-Jiangsu connection that will link downtown Shanghai, Chongming Island and Jiangsu Province with a series of bridges, tunnels and highways.
