Spanning 224 kilometers, the expressway is comprised of the 174.9-km Dawang-Jiangkou section and the 48.7-km Shijing-Dawang section. The former opened in 2016, while construction of the latter was conducted over three phases.

The 23.9-km second phase consists of a section from Guangzhou to Lishui Interchange and another from Guanyao Interchange to Sanshui Chengxi Station.
