The total length of expressways in the province has reached 6,452 kilometers, ranking 7th in the country, up from 9th in 2015. Guizhou also has the country's densest network of expressways.
Guizhou completed renovations on 1,100 kilometers of national and provincial highways, as well as its plans to become a "transportation demonstration province", which were approved by the Ministry of Transport of China, said Gao.
In addition, the province's rural travel service platform is now available in all counties, and the province's expressway toll stations now all support WeChat pay, making Guizhou the first province in West China to fully implement such a service, Gao added.
