　　The express way is not only a bridge leading a country into modernization, but also an essential condition for the development of modern transportation. In recent years, China's express ways have experienced a flourishing development, with a total mileage of 96,000 kilometers by 2012，ranking the second in the world. The total mileage will reach 108,000 kilometers after the construction of the national express way network is completed. By then, over 90% of the cities with an urban population of more than 200,000 will have been covered. Express ways create new development opportunities and space for road transportation, adding vitality to the economic take-off along the way. Nowadays, it has become one of the most important factors in driving the domestic demand and fuelling the rapid development of economy.
