At present the most remote ring road from central Beijing (around 15 – 20 km), the 6th Ring Road was built in the 2000s and has just recently been completed. 130 km of expressway between the interchanges with Badaling Expressway and Jingshi Expressway, running clockwise, are open to general motor traffic. It is the only ring road to be interlinked with the equally remote Jingha Expressway.
This toll expressway ring road links Beijing with Shunyi District, Tongzhou District, Changping District and Daxing District.
