Wagons Hoe……Err, Seems Like The Old Wagon Trains West In The U.S. From The 1840-1850’s But This Is China In 2010

Beijing has a 62-mile traffic jam near the Chinese capital that could last until mid-September.  It has become a symbol of the dark side of China’s automobile age.

Officials say traffic has been snarled along the outskirts of Beijing stretching toward the border of Inner Mongolia since roadwork on the Beijing-Tibet Highway started Aug. 13. 

The jam on the National Highway 110 passed the 10-day mark as of  Tuesday, while local authorities dispatched hundreds of police to keep order and to try to reroute cars and trucks carrying essential supplies, such as food or flammables, around the main bottleneck.   Vehicles were inching along little more than a third of a mile a day.
