Sprint with all your might
The "fast ring" accelerates into a ring
It's 10 a.m. today.
Rapid transformation of Gaolang Road.
The tunnel construction area is brightly lit.
Builders are racing against time.
Install and debug smart tunnels.
At this time, the sign of the Wulihu Tunnel has been officially hung at the position of the tunnel mouth, and the whole line is sprinting towards the opening of traffic in an orderly manner.
The main construction of the tunnel has been completed, the interior decoration is being completed, the outdoor municipal engineering from Lihu Avenue to Lixin Avenue is being done, and the progress has reached 95%, the road surface municipal restoration is advancing in an orderly manner, and the smart tunnel is about to accept the road traffic test. The person in charge of the Gaolang Road project of the Municipal Construction Management Center introduced.
The rapid transformation of Gaolang Road is an important part of the South Ring Road of the Rapid Middle Ring, which will build an important axis of the skeleton road network through the southern part of the city, and become an east-west traffic link.
Today, the reporter saw at the Gaolang Road rapid transformation site that the tunnel is brightly lit, ventilated and comfortable, and has a good visual sense, and the municipal greening at the intersection of the ground part of Gaolang Road and Linghu Avenue, Gonghu Avenue, Wuhu Avenue and other north-south roads is gradually recovering. It is expected that before the Spring Festival next year, the tunnel from Lihu Avenue can be directly connected to the Gaolang Road viaduct by the whole line of expressways.
As the first section of the urban expressway in Wuxi's "fast middle ring" to meet the public, what are the unique features of the design?Today, follow the footsteps of the reporter and go to this new expressway to feel the pulse of the city, and experience it from the perspective of pedestrians and drivesThe road of wisdom, the road of green, the road of people-oriented
Convenience is the main thing
More efficient driving experience
The first phase of Gaolang Road is from west to east, and the main line adopts the design of "West Tunnel East Bridge", which intersects with 14 north-south roads, including Lihu Avenue, Wanshun Road, Wuhu Avenue, Xincheng Road, Lixin Avenue, Lide Road, Gonghu Avenue, Xingliang Road, Nanhu Avenue, Ruijing Road, Huaqing Avenue, Huayuan Road, Huayi Road and Linghu Avenue.
The high wave road is fastBefore retrofittingThrough these 14 intersections, there are traffic lights, and the speed of driving is not comparable to that of the expressway. After the transformation, with a design speed of 80 kilometers per hour and six lanes in both directions, greatly accelerates the traffic speed and road capacity, and brings a more enjoyable driving experience to the public.
At present, the elevated section of Gaolang Road Rapid Transformation from Huaqing Avenue to Linghu Avenue has been completed and put into trial operation at the beginning of the year.
It is worth mentioning that in terms of design details, the Gaolang Road Tunnel is more full of practical and beautiful ingenuity: the Gaolang Road Tunnel has4.Clear height of 5 meters, adopted in the tunnelContinuous strip lightThe direct light has no glare, high brightness, and is more energy-saving and beautiful
A 50-meter anti-fatigue section is set up at intervals in the tunnel to decorate the water ripple "streamers";Illuminated signs are used for a better visual experience while drivingThe top surface of the tunnel is paved with fireproof boards, the walls are made of durable and easy-to-clean traffic gray enamel steel plates, and the side walls of the open section of the tunnel are made of dry-hung stone of white flamed granite.
People-oriented
Travel more comfortably
In Wuxi. You can feel the city every time you travelTemperature
At the beginning of the design of the rapid transformation of Gaolang Road, the concept of a continuous slow traffic corridor running through the east and west was integrated, advocating the creation of a multi-complex slow traffic network of "slow riding, slow walking, and slow travel", and doing a good job of connecting with the surrounding plots to improve the accessibility of surrounding residents.
"Slow riding".: The original 4 along Gaolang RoadThe 5-meter-wide non-motorized lane is divided into electric lanes and bicycle lanes, and corresponding markings are set up to reduce conflicts between different cyclists.
"Slow down".: Pedestrian space with a clear width set to 3 meters;It also adopts beige permeable concrete pavement structure to improve the air permeability of the pavement and reduce the pavement temperatureThe manhole covers in the trail are made of imitation permeable concrete** manhole covers to improve the comfort of the trail space.
"Slow Travel".The blue trail is used to effectively connect the major public green spaces and service facilities, and the functional all-age activity venues, service stations, and artistic and cultural landscapes are arranged along the route to meet the diversified needs of the public.
In addition, the design of the slow traffic system is truly barrier-free across the line, and for people with reduced mobility, barrier-free facilities are considered in the road construction process, such as continuous blind roads across the whole line, crosswalk lines at intersections, and curb ramps at bus stops, etc., and pedestrian lights at intersections remind the blind to pass according to the signal lights by sounding to ensure that the disabled can travel conveniently and safely.
In Wuxi. You can feel the city every time you travelWisdom
When vehicles queue up to a certain length, traffic lights can be automatically switched to reduce empty intersections and delays, effectively reducing congestion at intersections.
Dynamic Green Wave
Through the radar and first-class equipment set at the intersection, high-precision traffic flow, vehicle speed and other traffic data are collected from time to time to realize dynamic green wave control of intersections along dynamic high-wave road. The driver follows the speed shown on the display of the signal pole at the intersection to pass all the way through the green light.
Traffic light information is pushed in real time
5G micro base stations are set up along the line, which can quickly push the traffic light duration information to the driver's mobile phone in conjunction with AutoNavi Map.
Dynamic lane management
Lane control screens are installed at expressway viaducts, tunnels, and ramp entrances, and dynamic lane displays indicate "lane ahead closed" or "lane ahead accident" when there is a traffic jam or traffic accident ahead.
Slow-moving friendly management
Intelligent pedestrian signals and luminous floor tiles are set up at intersections, and luminous floor tiles are synchronized with signal lights to remind people who bow their heads to pay attention to safety when crossing the streetNon-motorized lanes use color markings to distinguish the right-of-way between electric vehicles and bicycles, so as to improve the comprehensive traffic efficiency of non-motorized vehicles.
Green ecology
Walking through the city is more beautiful
Around the expresswayOn the one hand, it creates personalized road sections such as cherry blossom runways, zelkova boulevards, and ecological landscape forests, and on the other hand, it adopts a combination of planting and group to form a landscape color corridor that changes in spring, summer, autumn and winter, creating different color themes in different seasons.
Elevated sectionIt focuses on creating an "air flower gallery", through the combination of moon season, triangular plum, and flame Nantian bamboo, to create an evergreen sky flower gallery in all seasons, and introduceAutomatic drip irrigation technologyto reduce the cost of post-maintenance.
Under the bridge, the evergreen shade-tolerant ground cover is the mainstay, with sponge pebbles dry stream, water management and rocks, which turns the originally dim space under the bridge into a beautiful landscape.
Transportation is the lifeblood of a modern city, and only when the blood is smooth can the city develop healthily. In 2023, the Municipal Construction Management Center will administer 24 road and bridge projects with a total mileage of 122 kilometers, injecting strong impetus into the advancement of Wuxi's "urban energy level".
