Beijing was first connected to outside areas by the Jingshi Expressway in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

By the People's Republic of China's 50th anniversary, more expressways were being built in Beijing.
By 2006, the 6th Ring Road would be completed, and in the same year, a major batch of expressways would also be finished.
