The second highway leading to the Beijing Capital International Airport will open to public next week to ease the mounting traffic pressure on the current routes.

The Beijing News reports the road will cut the ride from the Pingfang Cloverleaf Junction on the east 5th Ring Road to the Terminal 3 to 20 minutes.

The maximum speed is limited at 100km/h on the new road that has six lanes on the two ways.
