The Haikou Ring Expressway, designated as G98 and Hainan Provincial Expressway S82, is a 50.1adj=midNaNadj=mid[1] in Haikou, Hainan, China.
Opened on 6 August 2008,[2] it is now part of G98 (Haikou section, connecting the original East-West Expressway). The second phase of the project G9812 (Meilan Airport Interchange-Yanfeng Interchange) was opened to traffic on 21 September 2019.[3]
The expressway originally had the G1501 route marker until 2017 when it was renumbered as the G9801. In July 2022, the G9801 designation was officially removed, along with a number of other ring roads of coastal cities in the NTHS, because Haikou is a coastal city and it would be inefficient to route a brand new expressway into the sea for no reason.
