Inner Ring Road
The Inner Ring Road (Chinese: 武汉内环线; pinyin: Wǔhàn Nèihuánxiàn; lit. 'Wuhan Inner Ring Line'), is a 28-kilometer (17 mi)-long ring road consisting of a collection of surface arterial roads connecting the busy riverside commercial areas of Wuhan's three main central districts.[1] The ring road was formed when the Second Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge opened, forming a complete loop with the already completed Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge and existing surface streets.
