The roads were designed to be 18 to 30 meters wide. The total length adds up to 4.27 kilometers.

The design content of the whole project includes road engineering, bridge and culvert engineering, lighting, water supply and drainage, integrated pipelines, traffic engineering, green landscaping, and design coordination.

The Nansha Development Zone has invested 2.1 billion yuan ($297.96 million) in the project from its fiscal fund. The part for building expense was approximately 1.6 billion yuan.
