G42 Expressway runs from Shanghai to Chengdu, with a total length of 1,966 kilometers and over 200 entrances. Also known as the Shanghai-Chengdu Expressway, it traverses China from east to west, starting from Shanghai in the east and reaching Chengdu in Sichuan Province in the west. It passes through six provinces and municipalities: Shanghai, Jiangsu, Anhui, Hubei, Chongqing, and Sichuan, making it a crucial part of the national "Five Vertical and Seven Horizontal" arterial highway network. At 23:58 on December 27, 2014, the Chongqing-Yichang section of the G42 Shanghai-Chengdu Expressway opened to traffic, marking the full completion of the G42 Expressway. The drive from Chongqing to Yichang now takes just over six hours.
