Shenzhen, China, will start construction of its 93 kilometre outer ring expressway, intended to become one of the most important east-west expressways in the city, next year.
The US$4.3 billion project includes 82 bridges and twelve tunnels, and is expected to be completed in 2018.
The expressway is viewed as the most important of the seven expressways in Shenzhen’s expressway network. It is designed with three lanes in each direction and a speed limit of 100 kilometres per hour.
More than 2,000 people have now taken part in Australia’s first driverless bus trial, the RAC Intellibus, since its launch by automobile club on public roads in South Perth, Western Australia.
RAC general manager for public policy, Anne Still, said the trial was one of the most progressive in the world and had generated a lot of public interest, with more than 6,000 people registered to take part in the trial.
So far, the RAC Intellibus has completed 357 trips and travelled 1,050 kilometres.
