Release date:2020-12-04 11:10

Yesterday morning, the ceremony to construct Luoxing-Nanhu Highway (the portion within Nanhu District) was held at the intersection of the extended portion of Luli Street and Qixing-Daqiao Highway, meaning that the third corridor between the urban areas of Jiaxing City and Haiyan County began to be constructed. The other two corridors connecting these two urban areas are Guangyi Road and National Highway No. 320.

With a total investment of 260 million yuan, a length of 856 meters and six lanes, this highway runs from the east of Shangguantang Bridge where Nanhu District and Jiashan County border to Qixing-Daqiao Highway. Meanwhile the Qixing-Daqiao Highway will be widened and improved and the Luli Street will be extended. Once this highway is constructed and open to traffic, it will become the third crucial corridor connecting Nanhu District and Jiashan County.

Advanced traffic facilities are the premises for the development of a region. Jiaxing has upgraded its participation in the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta to the most important development strategy, which needs to be supported by the construction of important highways and expressways. This highway will play an important role in booming the areas of Xiangjiadang-the Pearl of Jiaxing.

In recent years, one billion yuan has been invested to construct road networks in the areas of  Xiangjiadang, and its traffic network made up of four vertical and four horizontal highways has taken initial shape. Such roads have been open to traffic as Beichen Road, Xianghu Avenue and Shuangxi Road. Luli Street is being extended and widened. Qingfeng Tunnel is under construction. The tunnel under Shanghai-Kunming Railway is being constructed for the Shuangxi Road and has made steady progress.  

According to Chen Wenrong, deputy secretary of the Party Working Committee of Qixing Sub-district and director of the Management Committee of Xiangjiadang, this highway is an important road of the traffic network of the region. It will shorten the distance between Jiaxing and Jiashan when it is put into operation, so it will be of great significance to improving local traffic conditions, optimizing road network structures and enhancing urban quality, and make citizens’ travel more rapid, convenient and comfortable. 

According to Chen Wenrong, the Party Working Committee and Management Committee of Xiangjiadang will spare no effort to support the construction of this highway to ensure it can be open to traffic by the end of November 2022 and make Xiangjiadang contribute much to building Jiaxing into a traffic hub city.
