THE first phase of a new expressway linking Shenzhen and Guangzhou will be open to traffic Wednesday, the Guangzhou-based New Express newspaper reported yesterday.

The first phase of the Guangshen (Guangzhou-Shenzhen) Coastal Expressway (S3) starts in Huangpu District in Guangzhou and ends in Weiyuan in Dongguan. The two-way-eight-lane new coastal expressway, costing 15.77 billion yuan, is designed to have a speed limit of 100 kilometers per hour. The coastal expressway will pass Shenzhen Bao’an International Airport and end at Shekou in Nanshan District, Shenzhen.

The 89-km expressway will shorten travel time from Guangzhou to Shenzhen to just one hour, saving one hour if traveling on the current expressway.
