(Reuters) - More than 10,000 trucks mainly carrying coal are stuck in a 120 km (75 mile) traffic jam in the northeastern Chinese region of Inner Mongolia, in the latest dramatic snarl-up on the country's roads.

State television said the highway heading toward Beijing and the neighboring province of Hebei was now more like a car park. The jam started forming on Tuesday after traffic restrictions began being enforced in Hebei, it added.

Most of the vehicles were coal trucks, the report said, which were also blocking feeder roads leading onto the highway. But the road further into Hebei had already begun freeing up, offering hope to the drivers stuck in Inner Mongolia, it added.
