The Capital Area Loop Expressway (simplified Chinese: 首都地区环线高速公路; traditional Chinese: 首都地區環線高速公路) is an orbital expressway encircling the city of Beijing. It is designated G95. The road was completed in December 2016.[2] Colloquially, the road is also referred to as Beijing's 7th ring road, though only 38 km (24 mi) of the expressway runs through Beijing,[2] compared to 38 km (24 mi) through Tianjin and 924 km (574 mi) through Hebei.
