TheShanghai Ring Expressway (Chinese:上海绕城高速公路;pinyin:Shànghǎi Ràochéng Gāosù Gōnglù), designatedG1503, formerly designated asA30 andG1501, and also known as the Shanghai Suburb Ring Expressway (Chinese:上海郊环高速公路;pinyin:Shànghǎi Jiāohuán Gāosù Gōnglù), is a 209.22-kilometre-long ring expressway (130.00 mi)[1] that encirclesShanghai, adirect-controlled municipality in thePeople's Republic of China. It is entirely inShanghai, except for a small section in the nearby province ofJiangsu at its northwest end.
It forms the final ring in a series of four orbital roads around the city ofShanghai, with the others being theInner Ring Road,Middle Ring Road, and theS20 Outer Ring Expressway. Part of G1503 Shanghai Ring Expressway in northernPudong New Area is concurrent with the third ring, theS20 Outer Ring Expressway, due to the nature of the coastline of Shanghai with theEast China Sea.
Thekilometre zero of the Shanghai Ring Expressway is located at an interchange withS20 Outer Ring Expressway andYixian Elevated Road inBaoshan District, and increase in a clockwise fashion. Immediately to the east of the interchange, the expressway descends into the Outer Ring Tunnel, so named because this section is concurrent withS20 Outer Ring Expressway. As the tunnel ends inPudong New Area, it becomes an elevated highway for a short portion, curving southeast and then south, reaching the Wuzhou Avenue Interchange. Here, the concurrency withS20 Outer Ring Expressway ends, with the Outer Ring Expressway continuing to the south, Wuzhou Avenue to the west, while the Shanghai Ring Expressway continues east.
The expressway curves to the southeast, meeting theG40 Shanghai–Xi'an Expressway at its eastern terminus. The expressway continues southward, interchanging withS1 Yingbin Expressway,S32 Shanghai–Jiaxing–Huzhou Expressway, andS2 Shanghai–Luchaogang Expressway as it traversesPudong New Area before curving west and enteringFengxian District. Its east section, from Longdong Avenue to formerNanhui District border, was named as Yuandong Avenue before the expressway is finished and became a ring in 2008.
The expressway travels west along the southern suburbs of Shanghai, passing throughFengxian District, where it interchanges withS4 Shanghai–Jinshan Expressway andJinshan District. At an interchange withS19 Xinnong–Jinshanwei Expressway to the south and S36 Tinglin–Fengjing Expressway to the west, the expressway continues north, passing throughSongjiang District, where it intersects with the concurrentG60 Shanghai–Kunming Expressway andG92 Hangzhou Bay Ring Expressway, andQingpu District, where it interchanges with theG50 Shanghai–Chongqing Expressway. It then leaves thedirect-controlled municipality ofShanghai for a short portion, entering the city ofKunshan inJiangsu province, where it curves to the northeast and intersects with the concurrentG2 Beijing–Shanghai Expressway andG42 Shanghai–Chengdu Expressway at the Anting Interchange.
The expressway turns east, back into theJiading District of Shanghai, where it intersects with theG15 Shenyang–Haikou Expressway and theS5 Shanghai–Jiading Expressway. Re-enteringBaoshan District, the expressway becomes an elevated road, travelling above Fujin Road. At Tongji Road, the expressway curves to the south, paralleling the elevatedLine 3 of theShanghai Metro. This section is also known as Tongji Elevated Road, due to the fact that it runs above Tongji Road. At the southern end of Tongji Elevated Road, the Shanghai Ring Expressway returns to itskilometre zero marker.
The expressway is tolled from just before the interchange withG40 Shanghai–Xi'an Expressway inPudong New Area, clockwise to just after an exit with
Shanghai S127 (Wenchuan Highway), inBaoshan District.
