After the connection of the Wusong Jiangte Bridge last Thursday, the whole Suzhou-Shanghai Expressway has been linked up and is expected to be open to public at the end of next year.

The Suzhou-Shanghai Expressway will be the second expressway which links the city to Suzhou, Jiangsu Province.

The first one was the Shanghai-Nanjing Expressway. Work on the Suzhou-Shanghai Expressway, which has six lanes and is 38 kilometers long, began in May, 2003.
