Beijing, September 03: A huge traffic jam stretching at least 120kms reappeared in northern China, with thousands of cargo trucks stuck in a bottleneck, reports said.
State television broadcast images of a long line of mostly cargo trucks inching slowly through Inner Mongolia on a major highway leading toward Beijing.
“You could say the highway has become a big parking lot,” a CCTV reporter at the scene said, estimating the number of vehicles stuck in the congestion at more than 10,000. However, CCTV later said the congestion began to clear in the afternoon.
Just over a week ago the authorities finally cleared a previous 100-km jam that had lasted nine days.
