And on Thursday, the lanes connecting Dongzhimen bridge to Jianguomen bridge, and to the main expressway to the airport, will open. However, the lanes will be closed again on September 6 for the Paralympics, Wang Li, deputy chief of the bureau said. A more detailed announcement will be made later, he said. Yesterday also marked the first month of a two-month odd-and-even license plate rule that allows Beijing's 3.3 million private car owners to drive only on alternate days. "Beijing's overall traffic in the past month has been good, fulfilling its promise of providing safe, timely, convenient and reliable Olympic traffic," Wang said.
