The Jinjing No.5 Road stretches 2.2 kilometers, starting from the Jinjing Bay Boulevard and ending at the Tiandabei Road, with a designated speed of 40 km/h.

It is also connected to Jinjing No.2 Road, Beihu Road, Ruyi Road and Pinglanling Road.

The road is an important part of the network in the Jinjing Bay District, and will provide transportation guarantees for enterprises along it, especially for the Pingtan branch of TPK Holdings.

“Now, driving from Jinjing Bay Boulevard to TPK takes no more than three minutes, which is of great significance for the large-scale operations of the company,” said a manager of the road project.
