The 153-kilometer expressway linking two key cities in Anhui Province in east China, was opened to traffic on Sunday.
The Hefei-Anqing expressway, part of the 830-kilometer highway linking Shanghai and Wuhan, capital of Hubei, was built with an investment of 3.7 billion yuan (US$446 million), including a 200 million US dollar loan from the World Bank.
With the completion of the Hefei-Anqing section project, vehicles are now able to cross the prosperous Yangtze River Delta on the Shanghai-Wuhan highway.
