The freeway connecting Guang'an City,the hometown of late Chinese leader Deng
Xiaoping, with the Nanchong City, both in southwest China's Sichuan Province
opened on Sunday.
The expressway leading to the late
leader Deng Xiaoping's hometown opens to traffic June 20, 2004.
[Xinhua] | As a section of the national highway
from eastern metropolis Shanghai to Chengdu, capital of the province, the
70-kilometer-long freeway took two and a half years for construction.
In addition, on the same day, another freeway from the province's Dazhou City
to its neighboring municipality of Chongqing also opened to operation.
The freeway has a 165.8-kilometer-long section in Sichuan and the whole
project started in the August of 2001.
The opening of the two freeways is expected not only to improve the
transportation in the mountainous Sichuan province, but also to inject new
energy to the economic development of China's western areas, according to local
officials.
