The first section of the expressway opened in the north of Beijing in 2002. Northeast of Beijing the 210 kilometre section to Chengde was known as the Jingcheng expressway(Chinese: 京承高速公路; pinyin: Jīngchéng Gāosù Gōnglù) and south, the section to Kaifeng was known as the Jingkai Expressway (京开高速公路, Hanyu Pinyin: Jīngkāi Gāosù Gōnglù). Expressway naming was standardised across China in 2009 and the entire length from Daqing to Guangzhou became the G45 expressway.
