TheTaiwan Ring Expressway (Chinese:台湾环线高速公路) was a proposed, hypothetical expressway encircling theisland of Taiwan as part of theNational Trunk Highway System of the People's Republic of China. It never came into fruition, though, due to thepolitical status of Taiwan. The People's Republic of China claims control overTaiwan, but has never administered it. Taiwan is governed by theRepublic of China, which hasits own highway system and does not recognize the designation by the People's Republic of China.
According to the People's Republic of China, the expressway would have passed through the cities ofTaipei,Hsinchu,Taichung,Tainan,Kaohsiung,Taitung,Hualien,Yilan,Keelung, before returning to Taipei. The route of its western half was identical to that ofNational Highway 1 under the Taiwanese highway system.[1]
In the 71118 plan of 2017, G99 was officially removed off of the books. This announcement was reaffirmed during the July 2022 expansion.
The "G99" number is currently used in the NTHS for metropolitan area ring roads (G99XX), which are somewhere between city ring roads (GXX0X) and orbitals (G9X) in degree of importance.
