The upgrading and reconstruction of the remainingsection is advanced rapidly. It is expected that the whole line will be open totraffic by the end of this year. 

The reconstruction and expansion project of JingzhouSection of G318 is one of the key transportation projects in Hubei Provinceduring the 12th Five-Year Plan period, and is also the key project for JingzhouCity to improve the external traffic conditions and alleviate the transitpressure of urban traffic. After the new 38.4 km-long section is opened totraffic at the end of July, citizens can take the new road directly and arriveat the main venue of the Garden Expo Park. At the same time, as the reconstructedand expanded G318 is adjacent to Changhu, Haizihu and Miaohu waters, and goes throughmore than half of Jinan Eco-culture Tourism Zone, this section will become the most beautiful road inJingzhou.  

The reconstruction and expansion project of JingzhouSection of G318 starts from Qianggan Village, Guanyindang Town, Shashi Districtin the east, and stops at the brick factory of Taihu Farm, goes through four towns,i.e. Luochang, Guanju, Jinan and Balingshan. The standard construction oftwo-way four-lane first-class highway is adopted in the whole line. Thedesigned speed is 80 km/h. Part of Jingzhou Section of G318 passes through thecentral urban area. The old highway is only 9 meters wide with 2 lanes, which oftencauses traffic jams. After the reconstruction and expansion is made, theoriginal second-class highway was changed into first-class highway. Accordingto the principle of "near the city but not into the city", G318bypasses the north of Jingzhou City and no longer passes through the downtown.
