They include Plan 1, 4, and 5 roads; and Binhe, west sections of Hubin, Nanwan, and the northern extension of Shengli (Victory) roadways.

The west section of Hubin Road, which runs 2.3 km (1.4 miles) to link East and North Airport roads, is the third artery in Jinwan after East Airport Road and Zhuhai Avenue. Upon completion in 2019, it will play an important role in the district's socioeconomic development.
