The weak transportation system has stunted the development of rural areas, said Dang Guoying, another researcher in rural development at the think tank.

Upgraded highways will help farmers sell their produce and bridge the economic gap between cities and villages in the long run, Dang said.

Amid reduced economic growth, the plan will boost domestic demand as more consumption is forecast for concrete, iron and steel, and other construction materials, Li Guoxiang said.
