"Borrowing money to build roads and paying for them" is an important decision made by the state to speed up the development of highway construction. Since the implementation of this policy, about 50% of expressways, first-class and second-class highways, and two-thirds of bridges and tunnels with a height of 1000 meters have been basically built with domestic and foreign loans, which has better alleviated the contradiction of the shortage of funds for highway construction and accelerated the pace of highway construction.
The completion of these highways has played an important role in promoting the development of highway traffic in China, improving the overall level of road network and alleviating traffic congestion. Highway toll is an effective way to raise funds for highway construction. By collecting vehicle tolls, it has injected vitality and vitality into highway development, which is of great significance.
In just over ten years, we have relied on the huge construction funds raised by this policy to provide strong financial support for highway construction and maintenance in China, which has made a qualitative leap in highway traffic in China.
