The section between Yuequan Road crossing and Jimen bridge had its build postponed due to Jingzhang intercity railway Qinghuayuan tunnel, and it is unclear as to when its construction will start; between Deshengkou tunnel and Laoyinzhuang junction, only southbound section is opened for freight transport; northbound section of this, and section between Laoyinzhuang and Yanqing East junctions, are also not built, and construction plans are stalled in favor of S3801 Jingli expressway; therefore de facto multiplexed with either G6 or S3801 between Huailai and Changping.
