Expressway Network of China
National Trunk Highway System (NTHS) is a network of freeways (traffic freeways) in the People’s Republic of China. It is the backbone of China’s transportation network. Construction of the system began in 1990 and is still underway.
On 13 January 2005, Zhang Chunxian, China’s Minister of Transport introduced the 7918 networks, later renamed the 71118 networks, composed of a grid of 7 radial expressways from Beijing, 9 north-south expressways (increased to 11), and 18 east-west expressways that would form the backbone of the national expressway system.
By the end of 2019, the total length of China’s expressway network reached 149,600 kilometers, the world’s largest expressway system by length. The planned length is 168,478 kilometers by 2020. Many of the major expressways parallel routes of the older China National Highways.
