Sanyuanqiao. Click here for a map
By 2008, four expressways will link to the airport:
- Airport Expressway, from the south (Open now)
- 2nd Airport Expressway, from the east (southeast)
- Northern Airport Line, from the northwest
- Litian Expressway, from the east
All of these expressways, except for the Airport Expressway are currently under construction as of early 2005.
Connections by Rail/Urban Public Transit: There are currently no light rail or underground routes serving the airport; however, the Airport
Extension to the Beijing subway began construction in 2005 and is set to be completed on June 30, 2008, in time for the 2008 Olympics. Buses run from
the airport to many parts of the city.
