The6th Ring Road (Chinese:六环路;pinyin:Liùhuán Lù) is an expresswayring road inBeijing,China, which runs around the city approximately 15–20 kilometres (9.3–12.4 mi) from the center of the city. The 6th Ring Road is approximately 220 kilometres (140 mi) long.[1][2]
The road is numberedG4501 and is considered a peripheral segment of theG45 Daqing-Guangzhou Expressway. The Sixth Ring Road was opened for regular traffic on 12 September 2009.[1]
The 6th Ring Road runs within the confines of the municipality ofBeijing.
Basic Route: Liuyuan Bridge - Liqiaozhen - Sanhui Bridge - Zhangjiawan -Majuqiao -Huangcun -Liangxiang -Mentougou - Zhaikou/Wenquan - Xishatun - Gaoliying - Huosiying - Liuyuan Bridge
It is on the outer fringes of Beijing, and even beyondBeijing Capital International Airport. The expressway ring road is the only one to link with the equally remoteTongyan Expressway.
As early as 2000 or 2001, the southeastern stretch from Sanhui Bridge (interchange with theJingha Expressway) through toMajuqiao (interchange with theJingjintang Expressway) was put into operation. The route was first referred to as the projected2nd Expressway Ring Road, much like the5th Ring Road was once referred to as the1st Expressway Ring Road; however, that name was abandoned in favour of the present-day6th Ring Road.
By 2002, a road section starting in Xishatun (interchange with theBadaling Expressway) through to Sanhui Bridge, as well as a stretch fromMajuqiao through toHuangcun/Shuangyuan Bridge (interchange with theJingkai Expressway), were complete and opened to the general public.
Another 43 km of the expressway ring road opened behind schedule (the portion linking it up with theJingshi Expressway and ultimately ending inLiangxiang in December 2004 and the section from theBadaling Expressway to Wenquan/Zhaikou inMentougou in early January 2005). They were slated for a November 2004 opening. In the first case, the expressway was opened on December 20, 2004, at 14:00 local time, with over a month's delay. The entire road was opened in 2010.
To re-connect several break-of-roads in sub-center region, Beijing Municipality government decided in 2019 that part of eastern 6th Ring, approximately 16 km, will be widened from 4-lane bidirectional to 6-lane, of which the middle 9.2km section will renovate as an underground section.[3] After renovation, the on-ground sections will be re-constructed as a high line park. In September 2020, the biggesttunnel boring machine in China was built in Changsha to join the renovation works.[4]
The speed limit is set between a minimum of 50 kilometers per hour (km/h) and a maximum of 100 km/h. Potential speed checks at Zhangjiawan and 500 metres to the east of Yongdingmen/Langfang exit; otherwise, none. Some drivers may exceed the speed limit, while others may travel below it.
Southwestern 6th Ring Road: carriageway-separated; note: there are no "overtaking lanes" on this part of the ring road; left lane, maximum speed limit 100 km/h, minimum 80 km/h, designated "car only"; right lane, maximum speed limit 100 km/h, minimum 60 km/h, designated "carriageway".
CNY 0.5/km, minimum charge ofCNY 5, based on price for a small passenger vehicle. There have been (a few) calls to eradicateall toll gates within the confines of, and including, the 6th Ring Road. However, little to no action has been taken on this matter.
The 6th Ring Road is linked with Jingshi, Jingcheng, and Jingkai Expressways toll systems.
Most sections are having 4 lanes (2 in each direction). There are some sections that were later widened to be 6 lanes (3 in each direction).
The traffic is usually very smooth; however, on weekends, tourists flock to suburban districts causing occasional traffic jams. The exit at Baige Bridge is also usually jammed due to heavy police presence at the exit. Car crashes also cause rare traffic jams. Surface conditions are generally excellent.

None; Beihuofa Service Area is projected (E. 6th Ring Road), as a gas station on the Southwestern 6th Ring Road.
At a distance of 20 kilometres from the centre of town, the expressway covers a much larger distance than the inner ring roads. Equally large is the distance between two points.
For example, the distance betweenJingtong Expressway toJingshen Expressway is approximately 2 kilometres on the4th Ring Road. It expands to nearly 4 kilometres on the5th Ring Road. On the 6th Ring Road, 10 kilometres elapse from one expressway to the other—and the Jingtong to Jingshen Expressway (on the 6th Ring Road, the Jingha to Jingshen Expressway) is one of the shortest distances between expressways in Beijing.
Anything up to 30 - 35 kilometres can lapse between theJingcheng Expressway and the Jingha Expressway.
For most people, travel on the 6th Ring Road is extremely rare. Although, strictly speaking, it is still on the perimeters of city limits, this is one massive ring road for a motorist to travel around.
