RELIEF has come for visitors ensnared in traffic jams on their way to or from Shanghai Disney Resort.

The first section of the S3 Expressway was opened yesterday, which will help to alleviate traffic to the resort as well as bringing relief to residents in Zhoupu and Kangqiao of the Pudong New Area traveling to downtown. The 3.1 kilometer elevated section connects the Outer Ring Road and Luoshan Elevated Road at its northern end, and Zhoudeng Highway at the southern end. The section includes a pair of ramps on Zhoudeng Highway

Ramps on Xiupu Road, and roads under the expressway are expected to be connected by June or earlier.
