TheBeijing–Taipei Expressway (Chinese:北京–台北高速公路;pinyin:Běijīng–Táiběi Gāosù Gōnglù), designated asG3 and commonly known as theJingtai Expressway (Chinese:京台高速公路;pinyin:Jīngtái Gāosù Gōnglù), is a partially completedChinese expressway that, if fully constructed, would connect thePeople's Republic of China withTaiwan. Currently, the expressway is complete fromBeijing toFuzhou,Fujian, and is fully complete inMainland China except for a small section in Fujian which is under construction.
InTaiwan, the expressway was proposed to connect with a hypotheticalG99 Taiwan Ring Expressway inTaipei, which would supposedly encircle the island ofTaiwan, as proposed by thePeople's Republic of China. In its western half, the G99 Expressway's proposed route coincided with that ofNational Freeway 1 under the ROC highway system. The proposal for the G99 Expressway was shelved in 2017, and its cancellation was reaffirmed during the July 2022 expansion.
The project has been the source of some controversy because ofTaiwan's political status. ThePeople's Republic of China claimsTaiwan, but has never administered it, so therefore does not have any control of its highways. AsTaiwan does not recognize the highway designation by thePeople's Republic of China and has its ownhighway system, the Taiwan portion of the expressway has not been constructed. Aside from politics, the other challenge is the engineering difficulties in constructing the link through theTaiwan Strait. A bridge seems less likely than an undersea tunnel, which would have to exceed 100 kilometres in length. This is further complicated given the climatic and weather conditions across the straits.
In China, it connects the cities ofBeijing,Langfang,Cangzhou,Dezhou,Jinan,Tai'an,Xuzhou,Bengbu,Hefei,Tongling,Huangshan,Quzhou, andFuzhou.[1]
The expressway passes the following major cities:
