The Shanghai-Hangzhou Expressway will be expanded starting from the end of July, with investment forecast at 2.5 billion yuan (301 million US dollars), according to local sources.

The project will consist of broadening a 95.6 kilometer section of the expressway which passes through six counties and prefectures under the jurisdiction of Jiaxing, a city located between Shanghai and Hangzhou, the capital city of east China's Zhejiang province.

The 79.1-km-long Fengjing-Shenshi section of the project will be widened to eight two-way lanes, and the 16.5-km-long Shenshi-Dajing section to six two-way lanes. The speed limit will be set at 120 km per hour on the trunk line.

The entire expansion project is expected to be completed and opened to traffic by the end of 2005, the source said.
