The Jingcheng Expressway is an expressway in China which links Beijing to Chengde in Hebei province. At present, it is 23 km in length.

It is a new expressway linking the northeastern portion of the 3rd Ring Road with the north and north-eastern outlying regions of Beijing municipality. It leaves Beijing heading north, eventually turning northeast later. The entire expressway will be complete by 2006.

The Jingcheng Expressway gets its name by the combination of two one-character Chinese abbreviations of both Beijing and Chengde (Beijing -- Jing, Chengde -- Cheng).



The Jingcheng Expressway passes through the municipality of Beijing and Hebei province.

Basic Route Beijing (Taiyanggong - Wanghe Bridge - Gaoliying, Beijing|Gaoliying - Huairou District|Huairou - Miyun) - Luanping (Hebei) - Chengde

Note Portions of the route that are under construction or projection are in italics. The portion Taiyanggong - Wanghe Bridge (heading out of Beijing) is fully accessible only if entering the expressway from the 3rd Ring Road in an anticlockwise direction. The same portion heading into Beijing is interrupted halfway through. This section will be completed in full soon. Theoretically (although unofficially) there could even be a connection to the 2nd Ring Road; two express road bridges (currently carrying no traffic), along with a rail bridge, sit above Taiyanggong, and both entrances to the expressway from the 3rd Ring Road merge first as one access path before merging onto the expressway itself.

Status Stage 1 (Wanghe Bridge - Gaoliying) is now open to the general public. Stage 2 (Gaoliying - Houshagou) is under construction. Stage 3 and the Hebei stretch will be completed by 2006.

The expressway was first opened in 2002. 21 kilometres of the expressway are now open to the public (from Wanghe Bridge on the Northeastern 4th Ring Road to Gaoliying, Beijing|Gaoliying on the Northern 6th Ring Road).



An additional portion is under construction. This is a stretch connecting Gaoliying to Huairou and Shunyi areas, near Shayugou.

In addition, the Jingcheng Expressway is also expected to link up with the project northern stretch of the Airport Expressway. This will begin at Lutuan, about halfway through the current Jingcheng expressway, and will be completed in less than two years' time.

The construction of the Jingcheng Expressway is being felt -- traffic to Chengde is currently partially affected by the roadworks.




Speed Limit
Minimum 50 km/h, maximum 100 km/h. Speed checks are rare; so far, only one near the Huanggang/Yandan exits (heading toward Chengde) and one after the 5th Ring Road (heading toward central Beijing).

Tolls
CNY 0.5/km as of Jingcheng Road Toll Gate north of Laiguangying for sections north of the toll gate.<br/>
