The S3 highway is one of the important rays of the "One Ring, Twelve Shoots" expressway network in Shanghai. It is an important component of the coastal corridor, as well as an important passage for large manufacturing enterprises such as Pudong New Area, Fengxian District, Lingang New Area, Tesla, and Yangshan Port to leave the province. The total length of the highway is about 26.6 kilometers.

After the completion of the project, it will effectively enhance the external radiation ability of the expressway network in the southeast area of Shanghai, promote the integration of port and city, alleviate the pressure of port dredging, and have important significance for promoting the construction of the "Five Centers" and "Five New Cities".

As an important component of Shanghai's expressway network and coastal major channels, S3 Highway is a structural backbone road in the southeastern part of Shanghai's "One Ring and Twelve Shoots". It is also an important connecting passage from the central urban area to Pudong New Area, the Lingang New Area of the Free Trade Zone, Fengxian New City, and the North Bank Economic Belt of Hangzhou Bay. At the same time, connecting high-grade highways such as S20, S32, and G1503 through S3 highway will improve the construction of the expressway network in the southeastern region of the city, effectively shorten the travel time and distance between the areas along the line and the city center and the Yangtze River Delta region, and enhance the external radiation capacity of the southeastern region.
