A new 5 km roadway will eliminate traffic jams for one million residents living in one of Beijing's booming satellite suburbs, according to road builders.
The Chaoyangbei Road extension, to be completed by next July, will improve travel times for residents in Tongzhou district, 30 km east of downtown Beijing.
The Beijing Liujian Construction Corp said yesterday the new six-lane road will be built about 1 km north of the notoriously jammed Jingtong Expressway, the major gateway to central Beijing for Tongzhou residents.
