Middle Ring Road (Shanghai)
Ring road in Shanghai, China
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Middle Ring Road (simplified Chinese: 中环路; traditional Chinese: 中環路; pinyin: Zhōnghuán Lù) is a ring expressway in Shanghai, China. It is the second smallest in a series of four ring expressways around the city of Shanghai. Construction began in April 2003 on the first section of the Middle Ring Road in Yangpu District.[citation needed] The Middle Ring Road crosses the Huangpu River twice through the Jungong Road Tunnel and the Shangzhong Road Tunnel. On the Pudong side, the southern section from the Shangzhong Road Tunnel to Shenjiang Road opened on 25 December 2009.[1] Most sections of the ring road are elevated. However, some sections passing through the Changning, Minhang, and Yangpu districts run at-grade and utilize Texas U-turn interchanges with the expressway running in a trenched underpass.
