Recently, the leading project of Guangzhou Airport Expressway Reconstruction and Expansion Project officially opened the EIA publicity for the section from the south of Liuxi River to the fifth line of Baiyun.

Guangzhou Airport Expressway

According to reports, the Guangzhou Airport Expressway is composed of two parts: the provincial expressway network S41 and the national expressway network G45. The S41 section of the provincial expressway network runs from south to north and starts at the intersection of Baiyun District and Beihuan Expressway in Guangzhou City. Yuanli Interchange ends at Baiyun International Airport. The current route has a total length of 24.07 kilometers. The G45 section of the National Expressway Network runs from north to south. The highway intersects the Banghu Interchange, and the current route has a total length of 30.3 kilometers.

According to the EIA, since the south of the Pingsha Interchange does not have the expansion conditions, the airport expressway expansion project starts from the Pingsha Interchange connecting the South China Expressway Phase III, and ends at the Beixing Interchange connecting the Beijing-Hong Kong-Macau Expressway. The length of the reconstruction and expansion project is about 42.091 kilometers. According to the characteristics of the project, it is divided into two sections, namely, the provincial network S41 of the airport expressway from Pingsha to Baiyun Airport and the national network G45 of the north extension of the airport.
