Beijing Road and Subway Construction.
Before 1949,there were few thoroughfares in the city of Beijing except in some downtown areas.Most of the streets were muddy roads.There were only 5 buses and 49 tramcars for the whole city.Since the founding of the People's Republic,priority has been given to road building.The 40-kilometer-long(25-mile-long) Chang'an Avenue(Everlasting Peace Avenue),is the main boulevard running from east to west through the center of the city.The Ring Roads and highways to different directions were built and contributed greatly to the area??s transport capacity.
