Tianjin Middle Ring Road

　　The Middle Ring Road is Tianjin’s first urban expressway and main thoroughfare, with a designed speed of 60 kilometers per hour. The project was constructed in two phases: the western half-ring (from Qianjian Bridge to Guanghua Bridge) was built from January 20 to June 20, 1985, and the eastern half-ring (from Guanghua Bridge to Qianjian Bridge) was built from December 1985 to June 20, 1986. The two projects were respectively awarded the National “Silver Quality Engineering Award” in 1986 and 1988.

　　The Middle Ring Road is a ring highway encircling the urban area of Tianjin. Along the road, not only are there high-rise buildings and tree-lined streets, but also numerous parks and landscape features that captivate and delight. Hence, the Middle Ring Road is like a colorful ribbon adorning the city of Tianjin with exceptional charm.
