The project focuses on the stretch between Shaoguan’s Wujiang district and Qingyuan’s Fogang county, located in the northern mountainous region of Guangdong. This expansion is a pivotal component of Guangdong’s vertical highway network, designed to bolster northbound travel efficiency and regional connectivity. The initiative underscores the province’s commitment to improving infrastructure to support economic growth and facilitate smoother transportation. The project is expected to enhance travel times, reduce congestion, and provide a more reliable route for both commuters and freight transport. As one of the busiest expressways in the region, the expansion is anticipated to have a significant impact on local and regional economies, fostering development in the northern areas of Guangdong.
