Shanghai–Nanjing Expressway
Road in China
The Shanghai–Nanjing Expressway (simplified Chinese: 沪宁高速公路; traditional Chinese: 滬寧高速公路; pinyin: Hùníng Gāosùgōnglù) is the main expressway between the Chinese cities of Shanghai and Nanjing. It is also the busiest expressway in China.[1] The expressway began construction on June 14, 1992, was completed in February 1996, and opened to traffic November 28, 1996. That year, it was listed as a key national construction project.
As the first highway in Jiangsu province, the Shanghai–Nanjing Expressway has up-to-date charge, monitoring, communications, lighting, safety and service facilities. It has improved transportation in Jiangsu and Shanghai, and encourages development along its length.[citation needed] It was the first expressway in China to use remote traffic monitoring.[1]
