The first one in Guangdong was completed and opened to traffic
freeway
Guangzhou-Foshan Expressway, referred to as "Guangzhou-Foshan Expressway", is a branch line of Shenyang-Haikou Expressway of China's national expressway network, which was completed and opened to traffic in 1989, and is the first expressway in Guangdong to be completed and opened to traffic, and the second expressway in China to be completed and opened to traffic.
The 15.7-kilometer-long Guangzhou-Foshan Expressway is also the main traffic road connecting Guangzhou to Foshan under the framework of the "1-hour living circle" of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, which plays an important role in the process of integrated development of Guangzhou-Foshan.
On the evening of the 22nd, the news that the Guangzhou-Foshan Expressway stopped charging received attention. Some Guangzhou netizens commented that "less road, a big step in the same city.".
At the beginning of the opening of the Guangzhou-Foshan Expressway, there were only four lanes in both directions, but due to the extremely heavy traffic in Guangzhou-Foshan, with the rapid increase in traffic, in 1999, the Guangzhou-Foshan Expressway implemented an expansion project, setting a precedent for the expansion of the expressway in operation in the country; in 2007, the Guangzhou-Foshan Expressway was expanded again, expanding the six-lane section into eight lanes.
After the reconstruction and expansion of the Guangzhou-Foshan Expressway, the road surface is eight lanes in both directions
Public data show that in the more than 30 years since it was completed and opened to traffic, the traffic flow of Guangzhou-Foshan Expressway has grown rapidly, and the traffic flow has exceeded 50 million in 2015. In 2019, the traffic volume reached 75.97 million vehicles, more than three times that of 2003.

The Guangzhou-Foshan Expressway has set many precedents
In addition to the first expressway in Guangdong, it is worth noting that the Guangzhou-Foshan Expressway is the first joint venture construction, operation and management expressway in China, which has opened the prelude to the construction of the Guangdong Expressway.
According to the Guangdong Provincial Communications Group, at that time, Hong Kong Pearl River Shipping Co., Ltd. and Guangdong Highway Construction Company signed an agreement to participate in 25% of the shares, the establishment of Guangfo Expressway Co., Ltd., the two sides agreed to bear limited liability for the debts of the joint venture company with the amount of capital they subscribed.
In addition to the innovation of financing methods, Guangzhou-Foshan Expressway has also set many precedents. For example, at a time of rapid traffic growth, in order to ensure that the expressway meets the requirements of safety, smoothness and comfort, the Guangzhou-Foshan Expressway has become the pioneer of the national compound charging model. During peak traffic, 7 duplex toll booths were opened using 1 lane.

According to the 2004 Highway Toll Regulations, the commercial highway generally does not exceed 30 years, but the toll period can be extended under certain conditions. The original toll period of the Guangzhou-Foshan Expressway was from 1989 to 2019, and was later extended to December 2021.
