The '''Shanghai Ring Expressway''' ({{zh|c=上海绕城高速公路|p=Shànghǎi Ràochéng Gāosù Gōnglù}}), designated '''G15<small>03</small>''', formerly designated as '''A30''' and '''G15<small>01</small>''', and also known as the Shanghai Suburb Ring Expressway ({{zh|c=上海郊环高速公路|p=Shànghǎi Jiāohuán Gāosù Gōnglù}}), is a {{convert|209.22|km|mi|adj=mid|-long ring expressway}}<ref name="length" /> that encircles [[Shanghai]], a [[direct-controlled municipality]] in the [[People's Republic of China]]. It is entirely in [[Shanghai]], except for a small section in the nearby province of [[Jiangsu]] at its northwest end.

It forms the final ring in a series of four orbital roads around the city of [[Shanghai]], with the others being the [[Inner Ring Road (Shanghai)|Inner Ring Road]], [[Middle Ring Road (Shanghai)|Middle Ring Road]], and the [[S20 Outer Ring Expressway]]. Part of G1503 Shanghai Ring Expressway in northern [[Pudong New Area]] is concurrent with the third ring, the [[S20 Outer Ring Expressway]], due to the nature of the coastline of Shanghai with the [[East China Sea]].

== Route ==
The [[kilometre zero]] of the Shanghai Ring Expressway is located at an interchange with [[S20 Outer Ring Expressway]] and [[Yixian Elevated Road]] in [[Baoshan District, Shanghai|Baoshan District]], and increase in a clockwise fashion. Immediately to the east of the interchange, the expressway descends into the Outer Ring Tunnel, so named because this section is concurrent with [[S20 Outer Ring Expressway]]. As the tunnel ends in [[Pudong New Area]], it becomes an elevated highway for a short portion, curving southeast and then south, reaching the Wuzhou Avenue Interchange. Here, the concurrency with [[S20 Outer Ring Expressway]] ends, with the Outer Ring Expressway continuing to the south, Wuzhou Avenue to the west, while the Shanghai Ring Expressway continues east.

The expressway curves to the southeast, meeting the [[G40 Shanghai–Xi'an Expressway]] at its eastern terminus. The expressway continues southward, interchanging with [[S1 Yingbin Expressway]], [[S32 Shanghai–Jiaxing–Huzhou Expressway]], and [[S2 Shanghai–Luchaogang Expressway]] as it traverses [[Pudong New Area]] before curving west and entering [[Fengxian District]]. Its east section, from Longdong Avenue to former [[Nanhui District]] border, was named as Yuandong Avenue before the expressway is finished and became a ring in 2008.

The expressway travels west along the southern suburbs of Shanghai, passing through [[Fengxian District]], where it interchanges with [[S4 Shanghai–Jinshan Expressway]] and [[Jinshan District]]. At an interchange with [[S19 Xinnong–Jinshanwei Expressway]] to the south and S36 Tinglin–Fengjing Expressway to the west, the expressway continues north, passing through [[Songjiang District]], where it intersects with the concurrent [[G60 Shanghai–Kunming Expressway]] and [[G92 Hangzhou Bay Ring Expressway]], and [[Qingpu District, Shanghai|Qingpu District]], where it interchanges with the [[G50 Shanghai–Chongqing Expressway]]. It then leaves the [[direct-controlled municipality]] of [[Shanghai]] for a short portion, entering the city of [[Kunshan]] in [[Jiangsu]] province, where it curves to the northeast and intersects with the concurrent [[G2 Beijing–Shanghai Expressway]] and [[G42 Shanghai–Chengdu Expressway]] at the Anting Interchange.

The expressway turns east, back into the [[Jiading District]] of Shanghai, where it intersects with the [[G15 Shenyang–Haikou Expressway]] and the [[S5 Shanghai–Jiading Expressway]]. Re-entering [[Baoshan District, Shanghai|Baoshan District]], the expressway becomes an elevated road, travelling above Fujin Road. At Tongji Road, the expressway curves to the south, paralleling the elevated [[Line 3, Shanghai Metro|Line 3]] of the [[Shanghai Metro]]. This section is also known as Tongji Elevated Road, due to the fact that it runs above Tongji Road. At the southern end of Tongji Elevated Road, the Shanghai Ring Expressway returns to its [[kilometre zero]] marker.

The expressway is tolled from just before the interchange with [[G40 Shanghai–Xi'an Expressway]] in [[Pudong New Area]], clockwise to just after an exit with {{jct|country=CHN|province=SH|S|127|name1=Wenchuan Highway}}, in [[Baoshan District, Shanghai|Baoshan District]].
