Labourers work at the construction site for the Olympic extension of the Beijing underground system May 13, 2007. More than 10,000 labourers are working to finish 52 new stations and 87 km (54 miles) of tracks that will bring the total length of the subway in Beijing to 300 km (186 miles) and is expected to be finished several months before the start of the 2008 Olympic Games.
