The Hubei Province segment of the Beijing-Zhuhai expressway was completed when the central province's southern section opened to traffic Saturday.

The expressway connects Beijing to Zhuhai via Guangzhou, both in south China's Guangdong Province, for a total length of 2,310 km.

The northern section and the Junshan Yangtze River Bridge, Wuhan city, section of the three-part expressway project were completed and put into service late last year. With the completionof the 110-km southern section, the 339-km Hubei portion of Beijing-Zhuhai expressway has been fully finished.
