The G6511 Ansai-Qingjian Expressway (Chinese: G6511安塞清涧高速公路; pinyin: G liùwǔyīyī Ānsāi-Qīngjiàn gāosù gōnglù), also known as the Anqing Expressway (Chinese: 安清高速公路; pinyin: Ān Qīng gāosù gōnglù), or Shaanxi Provincial Expressway S14 (Chinese: 陕高速S14; pinyin: Shǎn gāosù S shí sì), is an under construction expressway in Shaanxi, China.[1] A segment connecting Qingjian County, in Yulin to neighboring Zichang, in Yan'an, was opened in 2020.[1] Once completed, the expressway will extend to Ansai District, in Yan'an.[2]

History[edit]

Construction began on the 30.1 kilometres (18.7 mi) section connecting Zichang and Qingjian County in August 2017.[1] Construction was completed in late 2019.[3] This section was opened to traffic on December 11, 2020.[1]

The Shaanxi provincial government submitted a request for proposal for the remaining 59.97 kilometres (37.26 mi) section connecting the existing highway to Ansai District in October 2022.[4] The bidding process closed in November 2022.[4]

Design[edit]

The completed section of the highway from Zichang to Qingjian County has four lanes, a speed limit of 80 kilometres per hour (50 mph), and a roadbed width of 25.25 metres (82.8 ft).[3] The length of this section totals 30.1 kilometres (18.7 mi).[1] The total construction cost of this section totaled 2.58 billion renminbi (RMB).[3]
