Traffic Jam of the Day Month: It’s official — you are no longer allowed to bitch about your commute: Motorists headed toward Beijing on China’s National Expressway 110 have been sitting in traffic for the past nine days, snarled for over 100 kilometers in a jam that is expected to last a month.
From Xinhuanet:
Since August 14, thousands of Beijing-bound trucks have jammed the expressway again, and traffic has stretched for more than 100 kilometers between Beijing and Huai’an in Heibei Province, and Jining in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, China National Radio (CNR) reported Sunday.
Small traffic accidents or broken-down cars are aggravating the jam, the report said.
“Insufficient traffic capacity on the National Expressway 110 caused by maintenance construction since August 19 is the major cause of the congestion,” a publicity officer with the Beijing Traffic Management Bureau, told the Global Times on condition of anonymity Sunday.
“I’m stuck in a month-long traffic jam” is my new favorite late-for-work excuse.
