The Yaye Expressway is an important arterial road connecting Ya'an City in Sichuan Province and Yecheng County in Kashgar Prefecture of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, which is not only a transportation hub in the western region, but also an important part of China's national highway network. With a total length of 3,900 kilometers, the Yaye Expressway passes through the Sichuan-Tibet-Qinghai-Tibet region and is an important transportation link in western China. Its rich geographical characteristics and importance are impossible to ignore.
The Yaye Expressway not only connects the Sichuan-Tibet region and the Xinjiang region, but also connects Sichuan, ** and other provinces and regions, and plays a key role in promoting the economic development of the western region and enhancing the connection between regions. However, the arduousness and complexity of the construction of the Yaye Expressway also brought certain challenges to the construction of the project, and with the continuous progress of construction, this expressway will surely become an important traffic artery in western China.
Since 2015, the construction of the Yaye Expressway has been carried out in stages. So far, a number of road sections have been opened to traffic, including the Lhasa-Nyingchi section and the Ya'an-Kangding section. In the future planning, the section from Nyingchi to Lhasa and the section from Shigatse to Yecheng will also be gradually built and opened to traffic. Among them, the Kangding to Xindu bridge section is planned to start in 2022 and is expected to be completed in 4 years. The construction of the Yaye Expressway will greatly shorten the distance between the western regions, improve traffic efficiency, and build a convenient and efficient transportation network.
With a total length of 3,900 kilometers, the Yaye Expressway is a two-way 4-6 lane expressway. On the vast plateau at an altitude of more than 3,000 meters, the highway winds through it, and the bridges and tunnels account for more than 80%, of which the highest altitude reaches 4,500 meters. Such unique and spectacular geographical characteristics also make the Yaye Expressway a highway with great difficulty in construction and huge amount of engineering.
As a key part of the planning of the western region, the Yaye Expressway is not only a key passage connecting the east and west, but also an important measure to promote regional economic development and optimize the transportation layout. The whole process will not only greatly facilitate people's travel, but also have a far-reaching impact on regional economic development and cultural exchanges. This expressway will become a beautiful scenery in western China.
The construction of the whole line of Yaye Expressway will be a huge project, which requires continuous investment and support from the state and local governments. Although there are still planned sections that have not yet started, the author believes that under the guidance of national policies and continuous breakthroughs in technology, the whole process of Yaye Expressway is just around the corner.
The author's outlook for the future of Yaye Expressway is optimistic. On the occasion of the centenary of China's successful founding in 2035, if the Yaye Expressway is fully completed, it will become a precious gift to witness the brilliant achievements of China's infrastructure construction. With the successive opening of various road sections, the development of China's western region will enter a new era, and people's exchanges and exchanges will be more convenient and frequent.
Finally, although the construction of the Yaye Expressway faces many challenges, it is believed that with the joint efforts of many parties in China, the construction will be successfully completed and contribute to the prosperity and development of the western region. It is hoped that in the near future, the Yaye Expressway will be completed as scheduled, realize the interconnection of the western region, and bring more convenience and opportunities to the people.
