China has built the world's second longest highways in short time and will continue to expand its highway network.

You can imagine a more robust mesh of freeways that would hold up better, like one inch of snow means everything moves 10% slower, instead of 200% slower.

As an old China hand, I can tell you that around the country China is building out everything from its national road network and subway systems, to its airports, trains and bridges.

According to VisionWorks, “The pipe system is structured like a road network – the more traffic, the bigger the pipe.”

There are five project components: Component 1 expands highway capacity and promote regional integration by constructing approximately 116 km of trunk highway.
