The Capital Area Loop Expressway is an orbital expressway encircling the city of Beijing. It is designated G95. The road was completed in December 2016.[2] Colloquially, the road is also referred to as Beijing's 7th ring road, though only 38km (24miles) of the expressway runs through Beijing,[2] compared to 38km (24miles) through Tianjin and 924km (574miles) through Hebei.
In 2022, this expressway was officially rerouted so that it does not enter Beijing's municipality.[3]
This expressway encircles the various counties and cities that surround the city centre of Beijing, including Zhangjiakou, Langfang, and Chengde in Hebei Province, and Daxing District, Tongzhou District and Pinggu District in Beijing.
