An epic traffic jam spanning more than 100 kilometres has forced drivers to keep their feet on the brakes for nine days, CNN reports.

The problem was caused by highway construction, but accidents and broken-down vehicles have added to the chaos.

Thousands of trucks have been stuck since August 14 between the Inner Mongolia Autonomu Region and the Chinese capital of Beijing, state media says.

Adding to the drivers' annoyance, some "entrepreneurs" have taken advantage of the situation by gouging food prices. According to Time, one truck driver complained that vendors were selling instant noodles for 'four times the original price while I wait in the congestion.'

Traffic eased up and returned to normal on Monday. "

LOL wtf.. 9 days... my life is over if i was stuck in that..

Wow and I thought my commute sucked!

holy shit 1000 km. 9 days.
i would just park to the side and wait it out.

only in China.

crazy, i'd just leave the car and walk it

Hahahah 2 wheels does = freedom, even if it was just a damn moped

Man it would have paid to have owned a gas station there... And sucked to have been the employee cleaning the washrooms !
