Introduction of Three Gorges Dam-turning Expressway?

The Three Gorges Fanba Expressway is a four-lane expressway with an investment of 40130,000 yuan, a total length of 57.8 kilometers and a design speed of 80 kilometers per hour. The highway passes through four counties in Yichang City, Hubei Province where the Three Gorges Project is located, starting from Quxi Bridge in Zigui County, the first county of the Three Gorges Reservoir, and ending at the south bank of Yichang Yangtze River Highway Bridge. The highway is a geological disaster-prone area with complex hydrogeological conditions. Bridges and tunnels account for more than half of the total length of the line, and the construction task is arduous. Let Zhong Da Consulting tell you about the Three Gorges Dam-turning Expressway.

Officially started construction

On the morning of August 1, 2008, the groundbreaking ceremony was held for the Three Gorges dam-turning expressway.

After the impoundment of the Three Gorges Project in June 2003, the waterway conditions in the reservoir area have been greatly improved, and the shipping of Chuanjiang River has shown explosive growth. By the end of 2007, the annual cargo throughput of the Three Gorges dam section has exceeded 60 million tons, and the Three Gorges double-line five-level lock has become the main channel for passenger and cargo ships to cross the dam, but it takes a long time, with an average of three and a half hours. In order to ensure the rapid flow of passengers and goods crossing the dam and the safe operation of the world's largest water control project, the state has decided to build the Three Gorges dam-crossing expressway.

Completed and opened to traffic

On the afternoon of 20 10/0,65438+February 3 1 30,000 yuan, the 57.8-kilometer Three Gorges dam-turning expressway was officially opened to traffic, and then the launching ceremony of the first batch of ro-ro trucks passing through the Three Gorges dam-turning expressway was officially held in Zigui Port. From then on, passengers and goods entering and leaving the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River will have a faster transportation channel than the Three Gorges Ship Lock, and the transportation pressure of the Three Gorges Ship Lock will be effectively alleviated.

It is understood that with the opening of the Three Gorges dam-turning expressway, the ro-ro transportation in the reservoir area will adopt the "land-water" rapid transit mode. After the freight vehicles in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River disembark at Zigui Port in the upper reaches of the Three Gorges Dam, all of them will enter the national expressway network from the Three Gorges dam-turning expressway, truly realizing the seamless connection between land and water transportation.

On the day of opening to traffic, Chen Zhixin, a driver from Panjin, Liaoning, happily told reporters that it used to take more than 10 hours to get from Yichang to Zigui Port, but now it only takes more than 1 hour to turn over the dam. This expressway is what they have been looking forward to for a long time.

According to the statistics of the navigation department of the Three Gorges, the ship transportation in the Three Gorges reservoir area has developed rapidly in recent years, and now it has exceeded the capacity of the Three Gorges lock ahead of schedule. In order to change this situation, the state has invested a huge sum of money to build a dam-turning transshipment highway, so that passengers and goods in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River have a faster transportation channel than the Three Gorges Ship Lock. The completion and opening of the Three Gorges Dam-turning Expressway has enabled all ro-ro ships entering and leaving Sichuan and Chongqing to transit at Zigui Port, greatly alleviating the traffic pressure of the Three Gorges Shiplock.
