- Details
THE Hujia Expressway, China's first expressway, has cancelled all toll fees following the completion of the road's reconstruction, Xinhua reports, citing the Shanghai Municipal Roadway Administration Bureau.
At the beginning of 2012, the Shanghai government decided to make adjustments to the Hujia Expressway in order to revamp it as a "city expressway". The reconstruction project that aimed to widen the road began in February this year. Shortly following the completion of the project, all toll gates will be removed.
Construction for the 18.5-kilometre expressway linking Shanghai's downtown area to its suburban Jiading district first began in 1984 and opened to traffic in 1988.
