VOLUNTARY ANNOUNCEMENT

COMMENCEMENT OF YANGXI LINE RENOVATION PROJECT AND EXPECTED INCREASE IN TRAFFIC VOLUME OF CHENGGUAN EXPRESSWAY FOLLOWING COMPLETION

This announcement is made by Chengdu Expressway Co., Ltd. (the "Company") on a voluntary basis.

The board of directors of the Company (the "Board") was informed that, the Yangxi Line (from Shuxi Road to Xixin Avenue) renovation project (the "Project"), as the improvement project of the 31st Chengdu World University Summer Games, was officially launched on 8 March 2020. The Project starts from Yangxi interchange on Chengdu 3rd ring road and ends on the Ring Expressway node of Chengguan Expressway of the Company, covering a total length of 7.63 kilometres. Upon completion of the Project, all traffic lights on Yangxi Line will be removed to achieve rapid passage, and it is estimated that it will only take 15 minutes to travel from Yangxi interchange on Chengdu 3rd ring road to the entrance of Chengdu Toll Gate on Chengguan Expressway. According to schedule, the Project is expected to be completed by the end of May 2021.

The Board expects that the Project will impact the traffic volume of Chengguan Expressway to certain extent during the construction period. However, following the completion of the Project, the travel time from downtown Chengdu to Chengguan Expressway will be effectively reduced, thereby greatly facilitating drivers and passengers and contributing to the long-term increase in traffic volume of Chengguan Expressway.
