Construction completed on Beijing's '7th Ring Road'

Construction of the Capital Region Ring Expressway, a road of about 1,000 kilometers linking Beijing and nearby cities, was completed on Wednesday.

The project is expected to improve air quality and boost economic growth in the capital as well as the wider Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.

The final piece of the ring road - an expressway named G95 - linking the capital's Tongzhou and Daxing districts, will open to vehicles soon.
