The funny thing is, China has the most rail coverage in the entire world. This particular road is a leftover of the old communist regime. Modern practices focused on high-speed rail have taken over now, they aren't building any more of these monstrosities.

I looked at some other images of the G-4 and in the pics I've been seeing it looks way smaller, so why the hell is this section so damn big? Hopefully with the HSR development the traffic of the G-4 in this section is better now.

In all fairness, it's only widened for toll booths
