The Xuanda Expressway (宣大高速公路, Hanyu Pinyin: Xuāndà Gāosù Gonglù; Approximate Pronunciation: "Shuen-Da Expressway"), is an expressway in China which links Xuanhua in Hebei province with Datong in Shanxi province.
The Xuanda Expressway gets its name by the combination of two one-character Chinese abbreviations of both Xuanhua and Datong (Xuanhua -- Xuan, Datong -- Da).
Basic Route: Jingzhang Expressway - Xuanhua - Yangyuan - Dayun Expressway
Status: The entire expressway is complete and open to traffic.
The eastern end of the expressway links with the Jingzhang Expressway to Beijing and Zhangjiakou near Xuanhua, while the western end continues as the Dayun Expressway, which runs through Taiyuan (the provincial capital of Shanxi) down to Yuncheng , the at the southwestern tip of Shanxi province.
The expressway's route runs slightly southwest, passing through Yangyuan in Hebei before entering Shanxi, continuing west, and reaching Datong.
