===Highways=== Traditionally, the road network in Chongqing has been narrow, winding and limited to smaller vehicles because of the natural terrain, large rivers and the huge population demands on the area, especially in the [[Yuzhong District]]. In other places, such as [[Jiangbei District, Chongqing|Jiangbei]], large areas of homes and buildings have recently been cleared to improve the road network and create better urban planning; thus, several ring roads have also been constructed. This has seen many tunnels and large bridges needing to be built across the city. The construction of many expressways have connected Chongqing to its neighbors. The natural mountainous terrain that Chongqing is built on makes many road projects difficult to construct, including for example some of the world's highest road bridges.<ref>{{cite web |first=Simon |last=Black |url=http://articles.businessinsider.com/2011-07-12/markets/30008153_1_chongqing-china-building |title=Chongqing: World's Largest Construction Project |publisher=Articles.businessinsider.com |date=12 July 2011 |access-date=10 December 2013 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130118200934/http://articles.businessinsider.com/2011-07-12/markets/30008153_1_chongqing-china-building |archive-date=18 January 2013 }}</ref> Unlike many other Chinese cities, it is rare for motorbikes, electric scooters or bicycles to be seen on Chongqing's Roads. This is due to the extremely hilly and mountainous nature of Chongqing's roads and streets. However, despite this, Chongqing is a manufacturing center for these types of vehicles.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.echinacities.com/chongqing/city-guide/travel/chongqing-travel-guide.html|title=Rough Guide to Chongqing Travel|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121012201726/http://www.echinacities.com/chongqing/city-guide/travel/chongqing-travel-guide.html |archive-date=12 October 2012 }}</ref> * Chongqing-Chengdu Expressway * Chongqing-Chengdu 2nd Expressway (under construction) * Chongqing-Wanzhou-Yichang Highway (Wanzhou-Yichang section under construction) * Chongqing-Guiyang Highway * Chongqing-Changsha Expressway (Xiushan-Changsha section under construction) * Chongqing-Dazhou-Xi'a Highway (Dazhou-Xi'an section under construction) * Chongqing-Suining Expressway * Chongqing-Nanchong Expressway * [[China National Highway 210]] * [[China National Highway 212]]
