The expressway terminates at the Huanggang Port Control Point in Shenzhen, opposite the Lok Ma Chau border control point in Hong Kong. The connection to Zhuhai at the Macau border is made using the spur line G4W Guangzhou–Macau Expressway, which branches off from the main line in Guangzhou. When the expressway was completed in October 2004, it was China's first completed north-south expressway route.

History
The Expressway began as the Jingshi Expressway linking Beijing to Shijiazhuang, Hebei. Construction of this 270 km section began in April 1986 and was opened in full in 1993. This first section is previously numbered G030 .
In October 2015, the expressway experienced a serious traffic jam at the end of the Golden Week holiday caused in the main part by the introduction of a new toll booth near Beijing. The toll booth forced cars exiting from 50 lanes into just 20.
