Total mileage ranks 9th nationwide, and comprehensive density ranks 3rd nationwide.

In recent years, Guizhou Province has accelerated the pace of expressway construction. In 2015, it successfully completed the three-year expressway construction campaign and became the first province in western China to achieve expressway access in every county. In 2016, the province added 305 kilometers of new expressway mileage, bringing the total to 5,433 kilometers. In October of the same year, our province issued the "Guizhou Province Expressway Plan (Densification Plan)," striving to build a provincial expressway network featuring "central agglomeration, multi-polar radiation, interconnection, broad coverage, sufficient capacity, and smooth connections," and aiming to exceed 10,000 kilometers of expressway mileage by the end of the "13th Five-Year Plan."
