Tonghuihe North Road

From Beijingology

Tonghuihe North Road is a city express road in eastern urban Beijing. With its initial opening on December 4, 2006, up to a third of traffic on the stretch of the extended Chang'an Avenue from Sihui Bridge (E 4th Ring Road) through to Jianguomen Bridge (E 2nd Ring Road) will be diverted to the new city expressway.

Most of the city expressway is in the form of a 4-6 lane express road. There are links to Yong'anli, the eastern 3rd Ring Road (side road only), Xidawang Road and the eastern 4th Ring Road in the form of overpasses.

Traffic on the 2nd Ring Road wishing to reach Ciqikou over Guangqumen Bridge must now use a newly-signposted exit before the bridge. Traffic snarls can flare up at both the entrance to the 2nd Ring Road at Guangqumen Bridge and at the merger of a branch road on Yong'anli Bridge.
