The Haikou Ring Expressway (Chinese: 海口绕城高速公路), designated as G98 and Hainan Provincial Expressway S82, is a 50.1-kilometre-long expressway (31.1 mi)[1] in Haikou, Hainan, China.
History
[edit]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.
