The Kaiyuan–Hekou Expressway (Chinese: 开远—河口高速公路), commonly referred to as the Kaihe Expressway (Chinese: 开河高速公路) is an expressway that connects Kaiyuan, Honghe Hani and Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan, China and Hekou Yao Autonomous County, Honghe Hani and Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan. It is a spur of G80 Guangzhou–Kunming Expressway and is entirely in Yunnan Province.[1]

It was fully complete by 2018.[2]

Hekou, the southern terminus of the expressway, is located on the China–Vietnam border and there is a border crossing available to Lào Cai, Vietnam, where the Hanoi-Lao Cai Expressway starts.
