The expressway's southeastern terminus, the town of Taiwang in Ji'an,[1] is connected to the North Korean city of Manpo through the Ji'an Yalu River Border Road Bridge (Chinese: 集安至满浦界河公路大桥), which crosses the Yalu River.[1] This bridge, the subject of international attention, was completed in 2016, but was only opened to traffic on April 8, 2019.[2] North Korea has plans to extend the Pyongyang-Huichon Expressway to the border at Manpo. The expressway is a spur of G11 Hegang–Dalian Expressway.[3]
