The traffic flow in the tunnel was slow at night, and the first emergency passage of the road closure was cancelled.
Recently, Wuhan urban area has ushered in continuous low temperature and snowfall weather, which has had a certain impact on urban traffic. At this time, the Yangtze River Tunnel became one of the key passages for citizens to cross the river. It is understood that with the extreme changes in the weather, the Yangtze River Tunnel has canceled the night closure for the first time, and adopted emergency measures for 24-hour all-day traffic to meet the needs of citizens for night travel.
Last night, the Yangtze River Tunnel ushered in about 620 vehicles passing at night, and the driving speed was relatively slow, but the overall traffic condition was stable. The staff of the safety technology department worked tirelessly to pay attention to the situation inside and outside the tunnel through the monitoring system to ensure the safe and smooth travel of citizens across the river.
Normally, the Yangtze River Tunnel is closed from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. every night for facility overhaul and maintenance work. This time, due to extreme weather, the tunnel company decided to cancel the night road closure and implement 24-hour all-day traffic for the first time. This decision was supported by the department.
Zhou Ben of the Yangtze River Tunnel Company said that because the tunnel is an underground space structure, the road surface is not easy to freeze, and the traffic safety is relatively high. However, considering that the entrance and exit of the ramp are located outdoors, in order to ensure the safety of the public, the staff carried out timely spreading of snow melting agent at the entrance and exit of the ramp.
During the cold wave, in order to ensure the normal passage of vehicles, the Yangtze River Tunnel Company organized an emergency team of 40 people and reserved 68 tons of snow melting agent and 7 work vehicles to respond to possible emergencies at any time. The monitoring center continuously received on-site reports from the inspection personnel, and the frequency of inspection of the whole line was increased from the original 3 times a day to 1 time every 2 hours.
As the bell of the monitoring center continues to ring, the staff inside and outside the entire tunnel remain highly vigilant and go all out to ensure that the tunnel is unimpeded. Although there was continuous rain and snow, there was almost no snow on the road surface at the entrance and exit of the tunnel ramp, and the climbing vehicle cleaned the icicles on the top of the tunnel mouth from time to time to prevent falling.
Through the handling of this emergency, the tunnel company has gained the understanding and support of the public. During this extreme weather, the Yangtze River Tunnel demonstrated its efficient response capability and provided reliable traffic support for the public.
This temporary 24-hour all-day traffic measure, although the cancellation of the nighttime road closure due to extreme weather, also provides valuable experience for dealing with similar situations in the future. With the gradual improvement of the weather, it is believed that the traffic situation will gradually return to normal, creating more convenient conditions for the public to travel.
At this special moment, the staff of the Yangtze River Tunnel Company have made hard efforts to ensure the safe operation of the tunnel. Their quiet efforts have contributed to the city's transportation security, and also let us see the tenacity and selflessness of people working together in the face of natural disasters.
Through this incident, we can't help but think: in modern society, the coordinated operation of science and technology and manpower is our powerful response to natural disasters. With the continuous development of cities, we also need more scientific and technological means and emergency plans to better ensure the operation of urban infrastructure and the safety of citizens.
Although this extreme weather has brought some troubles to the city, I believe that through the joint efforts of everyone, we can usher in a safer and more convenient urban life. In the future, we also hope that cities will make better use of technology to improve their ability to respond to sudden natural disasters and create a more comfortable living environment for citizens.
At this special moment, we are looking forward to the gradual improvement of urban traffic and the gradual return of life to normal. I also hope that everyone can remain calm in the face of natural disasters, respond scientifically, and work together to tide over the difficulties.
