The pace of construction for the 2008 Beijing Olympics has stepped up, with some key projects now running round the clock during the traditional Spring Festival.

The transfer buildings for all international flights during the Olympics will be largely complete by June and workers are busy building roads and a transportation hub at the airport.

The Beijing subway lines 4 and 10 will have their main routes finished by July.

Other Olympic venues, like the main national stadium and the national swimming centre, will also step up construction this year.
