wiki facts:

Originally, China had been carrying out an ambitious plan to build up a 35,000 kilometer national trunk highway system before 2020. ... This project has been completed by the end of 2007, 13 years ahead of the original plan. By the end of 2007, there were already 3.57 million km of highways...

On January 13, 2005, it was announced by Zhang Chunxian, minister of communications, that China will build a network of 85,000 km expressways over the next three decades, connecting all provincial capitals and cities with a population of over 200,000...

Construction of expressways began in 1988 and the network is scheduled to be complete in 2020. The scale of the project can be seen by the fact that on January 1, 1989, the PRC had 147 km of freeways, but by January 1, 2008, it had 53,600 km of freeway, about 8,000 km of which were built in 2007.

The express highway system is set to expand to 65,000 km by 2010, 85,000 km by 2020, 120,000 km by 2030, and 175,000 km by 2050.
