BEIJING, Aug. 10-- China will construct a utility tunnel system by 2020 to achieve quality urban planning, according to the State Council, China's cabinet.
The tunnels will help solve problems of Chinese cities, such as"road zippers" and "overhead spider webs" according to a guideline issued by the State Council.
Road zippers refer to ditches that are often dug open for repairs and installation, disrupting traffic and local life. The spider webs -- webs of power lines and telecommunications cables spread overhead -- are also familiar sights.
The tunnels will carry utility lines such as electricity, water, heating and sewer pipes as well as telecommunications and television cables, all collectively laid underground, said the guideline.
The guideline said the underground utility corridors will not only improve city life, but will stimulate investment.
