It's a traffic reporter's heaven! A nine day, 60 mile traffic jam on the Beijing-Tibet Expressway! Traffic had been heavy in June and July, but it's worse now. The main problems are construction delays. Sound familiar? The number of cars (traffic) has increased faster than the national highway system can keep up. It's like Chicago's rush hour traffic "on steroids."
The major traffic problems are expected to continue on this stretch until mid September when construction is scheduled to be completed.
As my favorite traffic reporter, Marysol Castro used to say, "It's a books-on-tape kind of morning!"
