Lianshi West Road

Conditions
Lianshi West Road (莲石西路, Lianshi Xi Lu) currently is a 3 km long city express road in Beijing. It starts from the western 5th Ring Road at Yamenkou Bridge.
It connects to Lianshi East Road at Yamenkou Bridge to the east and to Jingyuan Highway (China National Highway 108) heading into Mentougou to the west.
==Route==
* Route: Yamenkou Bridge (Western 5th Ring Road) - Jingyuan Highway
* Length: 3 km
* Construction: Began in 2004, completed on October 15, 2005
* Opened: October 15, 2005
==Safety==
* Speed limit: 80 km/h throughout
* Speed checks: None
The route is remarkably curvy and, in comparison with the other stretches of the extended Lianhuachi West Road, is somewhat challenging to drive on. Care is to be taken at the following stretches:
* just east of Shuitun exit (Mentougou direction), as the road approaches a cutting and a curve;
* after the bridge over the Yongding River, where the road becomes China National Highway 108;
* at the intersection between Lujing Road and where the road becomes Lianshi West Road, where the road enters as China National Highway 108, as there is an exit in the Beijing direction.
==Traffic==
Traffic leaving Beijing is considerably lighter on this part of the extended Lianhuachi West Road. Traffic into Beijing is even lighter.
Unlike other parts of the extended Lianhuachi West Road, there is no side road.
