In its annual report of 2011, Chongqing Road and Bridge Co. Ltd., an A-Share listed company in China, has posted a stunning gross profit margin of 91.14 percent, exceeding deluxe liquor maker Moutai, a traditional rank leader, Xinhua reported.

The average gross profit of the industry was also as high as 56.08 percent, replacing real estate as the second most profitable industry in China after deluxe liquor, according to 13 expressway companies' annual financial reports.

Expressway companies mostly get of their revenues from toll fees. The busy traffic throughout the country nowadays has made it possible and easy.

The Ministry of Transportation's statistics show that as of November last year, expressways in the country still have a total debt of 2.3 trillion yuan's to pay off, and in 2010 alone, toll fees totaled 285.95 billion yuan. The stats also show that Tibet is the only province in China where expressways are toll free.

Toll fee rich expressway companies, such as Jiangsu Expressway, have started eyeing real estate investments to expand their profits, whereas China's expressway users never stop complaining about the high and excessive fees, considered to be one of the highest in the world, according to earlier reports.

据新华社报道，我国A股上市公司、重庆路桥发布年报显示，2011年其毛利润率达到了惊人的91.14%，超过了传统龙头老大贵州茅台。

已发布年报的13家高速公路公司的平均毛利润率也高达56.08%，超过房地产，成为我国继高端白酒产业之后利润第二高的产业。

高速公路公司的主要收入来源是过路费，我国全境繁忙的公路交通更是成就了这些公司的高利润。

交通部的统计显示，截至去年11月，我国收费公路累计债务余额近2.3万亿元，收费公路2010年的收费额为2859.5亿元。统计还显示，我国仅西藏地区无收费公路。

通过收取通行费赚钱的高速公路公司，比如江苏宁沪高速，甚至希望投资房地产扩大收益。与此同时，我国的高速公路用户从未停止抱怨过路费太高、太杂的问题。据早前报道，我国是世界上过路费最高的国家之一。
