Zhanjiang south bridge 3

For the dream of 65438+ million South people to build a bridge.

Nansan Island is the seventh largest island in China. Surrounded by the sea, the island is rich in natural resources such as seafood and wind, and the coastal tourism resources are unique. However, over the years, 6,543,800 people in Nansan Island can only travel by ferry, which is very inconvenient for production and life. Backward traffic conditions have restricted the development and economic development of Nansan Island, and many investment development and construction projects have also been stranded due to traffic problems. Thanks to the efforts of governments at all levels and Zhanjiang Nansan Economic Promotion Association, nine Nansan entrepreneurs, including Jong Li, made a fortune and never forgot their mulberry, and jointly shouldered the banner of building Nansan Bridge. They plan to invest 654.38+32 billion yuan to build the South Third Bridge, and promise to give up the charges after the bridge is opened to traffic. Everything is ready, the construction of the South Third Bridge is about to start, and the dream of building a bridge for thousands of years by residents of Nansan Island is about to come true. However, how many people have worked hard and rushed around for the dream of building a bridge in Nansan? ...

Insufficient transportation

Confused about the development of Nansan.

For a long time, there are two jingles circulating in the southern three regions: "A woman should not marry the southern three islands" and "The lowest is the southern three mud". Two common sayings vividly show the embarrassment of Nansan Island.

Ceng Li, deputy head of Potou District, told the reporter a particularly impressive thing: an old man suddenly suffered from appendicitis, and the situation was very critical. Due to the limited medical conditions on the island, it is impossible to perform appendectomy, and the traffic is inconvenient, the life safety of the elderly is seriously threatened. In desperation, everyone Qi Xin worked together to send the old man to the other side with a small seesaw, saving the old man's life ... "Every time there is a meeting in the district, the leaders of Nansan Town have to leave one day in advance and stay in the district that night to catch the next day's meeting."

Workers at the bridge construction site told reporters that the nearest distance from Maxie to Nansan is only more than 800 meters, and it is even easy to wade through when the sea water ebbs and the water level is the lowest. However, because there is no bridge, it takes people at least one and a half to two hours to travel from the south to Maxie. If they miss the ferry, it will take longer. From Nansan Island, you must first take a boat to the seaside ferry, and then take a boat or bus from the ferry to Maxie via the Bay Bridge. Originally, it took less than 5 minutes to drive straight, and it became a traffic circle. Not to mention the road, and the cost of going back and forth by boat is quite high. The reporter learned that from Nansan, take a speedboat to the seaside ferry in 5.2 yuan, and take an ordinary boat in 2.2 yuan/person, and from the ferry to Maxie 1.5 yuan. Plus the bus fare, it costs at least ten yuan to go back and forth. It is really difficult for the poor islanders to think about the island once.

The island is rich in crops and aquatic products, but the backward traffic conditions have restricted the economic development of the South Three Islands, and many investment, development and construction projects have also been stranded due to traffic problems, so many people in the South Three Islands have to go out to work hard. Year after year, the economic situation on the island is getting worse and worse. When Ceng Li, the deputy head of the district, talked about Nansan Island, there was such a thought-provoking joke: "Even if you have money, you can't drive to Nansan on the same day during the Spring Festival and Qingming because there are too many people." Secretary Zhang of the village Committee said that he also has relatives in Nansan Island, but the transportation is inconvenient and he rarely meets each other. Sometimes, standing on the shore watching the umbrella, it is difficult to express your feelings in words. These simple farmers have only one wish for generations, that is, they hope to build the bridge one day earlier, connect with this side of the sea one day earlier and live a good life one day earlier. "If one day, Nansan can build a bridge and open to traffic!" An old man who just came from Nansan Island sighed at the seaside ferry.

Site: The bridge site is full of building materials.

In the evening, the afterglow of the sunset is scattered on the sea between Nansan Island and Maxie. The sea reflects the sunset, palm trees stand in the distance, and the unique subtropical customs are everywhere. Standing at the construction site of the South Third Bridge between Chihou Village and Duzai Village, Maxie, Potou District, Zhanjiang, the sea water at the foot has ebbed, the beach between Nansan and Maxie is exposed, and the sea sand is fine and soft. On Nansan Island, more than 800 meters away from the other side, people are looming, and the voice of conversation comes slowly.

There is a bridge foundation on this side of the sea. Next to the bridge foundation is the engineering signboard of bridge construction, and two working board houses and toilets have been built. The construction site is full of construction machinery, templates, steel beams and other facilities for bridge construction. At sunset, several construction workers are busy nervously. "In a few days, construction will start here." A worker wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand and pointed to the bridge foundation around him.

A few days ago, after more than two years of efforts by the Municipal Party Committee and the Potou District Government, the South Third Bridge was finally approved by the Guangdong Provincial Development and Reform Commission, and the construction of the bridge will start. The bridge is expected to open to traffic before 2009 12 and 3 1. After learning this news, Chen Sheng, a villager in Nansanfengnian Village, told the reporter excitedly: For thousands of years, the dream of building a bridge by Nansan people can finally be realized in their lifetime.

Nine bosses

Invest 100 million yuan to build a bridge

In fact, the Potou District Party Committee and the district government have always regarded the construction of the South Third Bridge as the top priority. As early as the early 1990 s, it began to attract investment. However, due to the long-term lag in the economic development of Nansan, the flow of people and vehicles is small, and the economic benefits of bridge construction are not obvious. It is difficult to get a return on investment simply by relying on the bridge toll, and even the daily maintenance of the bridge is difficult to maintain. I tried several times, but few people were interested. In recent years, the Potou District Party Committee and the district government have vigorously implemented the development strategy of "one park, one area and one island", in which "one island" guides the three islands, and clearly points out that it is necessary to step up investment in the construction of the South Third Bridge, build the tourism brand of the South Three Islands, vigorously develop the tourism and entertainment industry with the characteristics of the South Three Islands, and build the South Three Islands into an eco-tourism island and a tourism and leisure resort center in Zhanjiang City.

Just as the Potou District Government and Zhanjiang Revitalization Nansan Economic Promotion Association were struggling to find investors to build the bridge, Jong Li, who was born and felt the pain of traffic constraints, and nine other Nansan entrepreneurs joined hands to carry the banner of building the Nansan Bridge. At the Industrial Expo in 2005, Jong Li and nine other entrepreneurs from southern China signed a letter of intent to cooperate with the government of Potou District to build a bridge. After the bridge is completed, nine shareholders will donate it to the district government, which will manage it. Li, deputy head of the district, said that the bridge does not charge any transportation fees, and the district government will allocate funds for maintenance every year.

The reporter turned around and interviewed several donors. They don't want to publicize too much about donating money to build a bridge: "This is just a small thing that should be done." "We are children who grew up in Nansan Island, and that place raised us. But the hard life we lived from childhood is something we will never forget. I remember when I was a child, I was forced to drop out of school because I couldn't afford a few dollars in tuition, and I didn't have enough to eat and wear. When I grew up, because of the traffic jam, the island was very poor, and no girl even wanted to marry me ... Later, I went out of Nansan to start a business, and more than ten years passed. Now we are all rich, but we have not forgotten that the elders in our hometown are still suffering. Paying to build this bridge is the reward for our hometown and relatives to raise us! "

Prospect: realize the integration of slope head

The completion of the South Third Bridge is in sight, which will play an inestimable role in the economic development of the South Three Islands. After the completion of the bridge, Nansan Island and Maxie will be connected together, and the government will build a four-lane cement road, so that Nansan Island can be connected not only by ships, but also by cars. With Lutong Caitong, the crops and rich aquatic products on the island can be directly transported to the slope head through the bridge, and then transported to the urban area through the Bay Bridge. Besides, after the traffic is smooth, the beautiful natural scenery will attract more tourists.

The construction of the Third South Bridge will also have a radiation effect on Ma Xian, so that Ma Xian, like the Third South Bridge, will attract a large amount of investment with abundant resources, thus speeding up the development of Ma Xian. Several generations in Nansan Island hope to have a bridge, and the dream that the island can be opened to traffic as soon as possible will finally come true. All this will come true when you just rest and entertain in the sea in some myths and legends.
