A massive traffic jam stretching over 100 km has plagued roads between Inner Mongolia and Beijing in China for nine days. Thousands of trucks have been stuck in the gridlock, with fender-benders and breakdowns making the situation worse. Frustrated drivers have played cards or argued with vendors hiking food prices due to the delays. Traffic jams are common near Beijing due to insufficient road infrastructure, and the current jam is not expected to clear until September 13 when ongoing construction finishes.
