China has begun building an expressway that would link two places worst hit by last May earthquake in southwestern Sichuan province -- Wenchuan County and Yingxiu Township.
The 52-kilometer expressway, which will allow motor vehicles to run at 80 kilometers per hour, will have two lanes in each direction. Construction of the project began Saturday and is scheduled to be completed by 2012.
