The expressway is a key project of the five-year implementation plan for expressway construction in Guizhou province. It connects Guiyang and Zunyi as well as Guiyang and Weng'an. It also connects the Guiyang (Huaxi) to Anshun expressway and allows Gui'an access to Duyun by the Anshun expressway. The expressway is 127 kilometers long, and consists of an 83 kilometer section in Guiyang, a 26 kilometer section in Anshun and a 5 kilometer section in Qiannan Buyi and Miao Autonomous Prefecture.

There will be 15 interchanges along the expressway, and eight interchange links totaling 33.1 kilometers will be built as well. 

The two-way, six-lane expressway measures 33.5 meters in width and has a designed speed of 100 kilometers per hour.
