From where to where is the Tieke Expressway?
2 Answers
The Tieke Expressway runs from Yushu (Heilongjiang-Jilin border) to Keyouzhongqi, with the expressway network number G1015. The total length of the route is 183 kilometers, and there are 8 toll stations along the entire route: Yongping, Sanjingzi, Fuyu Gongpengzi, Fuyu South, Yushu Gongpeng Town, Yushu, Yushu North, and Yujia Town. The Tieke Expressway is a domestic expressway in China and one of the connecting lines of the national expressway network. An expressway is a multi-lane road exclusively designed for vehicles to travel in separate directions and lanes, with full access control. The average annual daily design traffic volume of an expressway should be more than 15,000 passenger cars, and the design speed is 80 to 120 kilometers per hour.
I remember driving the entire Tieke Expressway last year, starting from Tieli City in Heilongjiang to the endpoint at Horqin Right Front Banner in Inner Mongolia. This expressway is quite long, taking about five to six hours to drive through. The road conditions were good, but some sections had slight undulations, so it's advisable to check tire pressure and brake fluid beforehand. The scenery along the way was stunning, passing through forests and plains, making it perfect for a summer trip. I drove an SUV that time, and having the AC on full blast made the ride more comfortable. I recommend bringing water and snacks since there aren't many service areas—take a few breaks to prevent fatigue. Overall, the route stretches from the northeast to the northwest, connecting the economies of both regions, making it a great choice for road trip enthusiasts.
