The journey from downtown to South Station will be greatly shortened, and it only takes a few minutes in the past! During this year&;s Guangzhou Municipal People&;s Congress, Pan Shuangming, the newly appointed director of the Municipal Transportation Bureau, revealed that Guangzhou will invest 8.5 billion yuan to build a fast track in Dong Xiao South to Guangzhou South Railway Station. Yesterday, the &”;Tender Notice for the Survey and Design of the Southern Section of the Dong Xiao South Road-Guangzhou South Railway Station Connecting Line&”; issued by Guangzhou Public Resources Trading Center showed that the connecting line project starts from Dong Xiao South Road Elevated in the north and ends at Guangzhou South Railway Station in the south, with a total length of about 9.5 kilometers. It is planned to start construction before the end of September 2019 and complete it in December 2022. The journey from Dong Xiao South to South Station is shortened by half. During this year, Pan Shuangming, a representative of the provincial people&;s congress and director of the Guangzhou Municipal Transportation Bureau, who attended the delegation of Haizhu District of the Fourth Session of the 15th National People&;s Congress, said that he was studying the construction of a fast-track from Dong Xiao South to Guangzhou South Station and speeding up the connection between the South Station and the main city of Guangzhou. Construction may start this year and it is expected to be completed within two and a half years. Pan Shuangming said that there is an unused connecting ramp on Dong Xiao South Elevated Expressway, which is called &”;diving platform&”;. This ramp is reserved for docking the southeast ring of Guangzhou Ring Expressway. In the future, this fast track will connect the southeast ring of Huancheng Expressway from Dong Xiao South Elevated Road, then cross the Pearl River, Luoxi Island and Nanpu Island, and the special line will go directly to Guangzhou South Railway Station. At that time, according to Pan Shuangming, &”;After the passage is completed, it is only 9.7 kilometers from Dong Xiao South Interface to South Station, and it only takes a few minutes to drive, which is 15 minutes&; drive from the province.&”; In the tender announcement announced yesterday, this connecting line finally &”;still holds the pipa&”;, revealing its true meaning. The reporter learned that this connecting line project starts from the elevated Dong Xiao South Road in the north and ends at Guangzhou South Station in the south, with a total length of about 9.5 kilometers. With a total investment of 8.4 billion yuan, the project is scheduled to start construction before the end of September 2019 and be completed in December 2022. Master Liu, a taxi driver in Guangzhou, said: From Dong Xiao South Road to Guangzhou South Station, the fastest route is from Sanjiao Interchange to Guangzhou Ring Expressway, then from Dongsha Interchange to Dongxin Expressway, and then from Guangzhou South Station Interchange to Hanxi Avenue West. The whole journey is about 19 kilometers, and it takes about 25 minutes if there is no traffic jam. If this expressway is completed, it will shorten the distance from Dong Xiao South to South Railway Station by nearly half! The route of the southern section is 5.85 kilometers long. Guangzhou Daily reporter learned that the starting point of the southern section of the Dong Xiao South Road-Guangzhou South Railway Station connecting line in this tender is Nanpu Avenue connecting with the northern section, and it crosses Dashi Waterway, Chentougang Station and Nanda trunk line in the form of a bridge to the south, and then connects with Shizhou North Road after going underground, and connects with the east departure platform of Guangzhou South Railway Station by a bridge. The length of the route is 5.85 kilometers, adopting the urban expressway standard, with six lanes in both directions and a design speed of 80 kilometers per hour. The length of the main bridge is about 5 kilometers. Among them, the main line of Dashi Waterway Bridge is 1390 meters long, including a water-crossing bridge and a north-south approach bridge, which spans Dashi Waterway and adopts a cable-stayed bridge with a length of 50 72 108=230 meters.
