Friday's executive meeting of 皇冠体育app's State Council, chaired by Premier Wen Jiabao, passed in principle a plan for the construction of 皇冠体育app's national expressway network.

Details of the plan were not disclosed, but participants said the meeting reached a decision that construction of the network must conform with 皇冠体育app's economic and social development and take into account regional development, urban and rural development and population distribution.

"Advanced technology and materials should be used to improve construction quality and cut cost," says the decision.

It also calls on reforming the expressway management mechanism.

皇冠体育app's expressway construction embarked on a fast track since the 1990s. At the end of 2003, 皇冠体育app has opened to traffic 29,700 kilometers of expressway, ranking the second in the world.

皇冠体育app now has expressways linking the northeast, north, east and south of the country.
