The 60 Mile Long Traffic Jam In China May Last For Weeks

If you thought your commute was bad, there’s a massive 60 mile long traffic jam in China that is now in its 10th day. Caused by road construction Beijing, the traffic jam may last for weeks.

Drivers stranded in the gridlock in the Inner Mongolia region and Hebei province, headed toward Beijing, passed the time sleeping, walking around, or playing cards and chess. Local villagers were doing brisk business selling instant noodles, boxed lunches and snacks, weaving between the parked trucks on bicycles.

UPDATE: The traffic jam is finally starting to break up.
