Transport in Hebei - Jingshi Expressway (Paperback)


Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Pages: 108. Not illustrated. Chapters: Jingshi Expressway. Excerpt: The Jingshi Expressway (Chinese: pinyin: Jngshi Gosu Gnglu; or Jingshi Freeway, as it was formerly known) is an expressway in China which links Beijing to the Shijiazhuang. It is c. 270 km in length. Its road numbering is G030. It forms part of the Jingzhu Expressway. Opened in full in 1993, the expressway runs in a southwest direction, linking the capital of China with the capital of Hebei province. The Jingshi Expressway gets its name by the combination of two one-character Chinese abbreviations of both Beijing and Shijiazhuang (BeijingJing, ShijiazhuangShi). Jingshi Expressway -- narrow Beijing section after Dujiakan toll gate (Early November 2004 image) Jingshi Expressway after Zhaoxindian/Changxindian exit (Early July 2004 image - note no central barriers )The expressway starts from Liuliqiao on the southwestern 3rd Ring Road, passes through the 4th Ring Road at Yuegezhuang, and then approaches a heavily industrialised area, the Xidaokou area near Shougang. On the way out of Beijing, one passes through the famous Luguoqiao area - home to the Marco Polo Bridge and Wanping, marking where the Sino-Japanese war began in 1937. The Dujiakan toll gate (for the Beijing stretch) follows after a bridge crossing what used to be a vast Yongding River. (Sadly, it has now apparently dried up.) After the toll gate, the expressway links to roads connecting to Fangshan District and Liangxiang satellite town. A link to the 6th Ring Road opened on December 20, 2004. The expressway also links Beijing to the Zhoukoudian Peking Man cave, as well as Yunju Temple. The Beijing portion of the expressway ends after the Liulihe exit (Exit No. 18). Maps incorrectly point out that the final exit in the Beijing portion ends at Doudian (Exit No. 16 leaving Beijing, Exit No. 17 entering Beijing)...
