A 9 day long traffic jam is a perfect reason for China being overpopulated.  Even though construction was the cause of the back up, it wouldn't be such a long jam if there wasn't millions of people in the area.  The traffic jam was about 60 miles long on an important road for transportation to Beijing.  China has tried to solve traffic issues before but it obviously didn't help this time.
