The History of JASON ZHANG Highway in Zhangjiagang

1, 1933, the bullet stone pavement of Jiangyin-Zhangjiagang section 17 km started construction, which is the predecessor of JASON ZHANG Highway. From 1958 to 1960, Jiangyin County People's Government and Changshu County People's Government respectively built Yang She-Houcheng Section and Yang She-Lvyuan Section, which were called Yanghou Line and Line respectively, and Yanghou Line was connected with Chengwu Line, also known as Yangxian Line. From 1985 to 1986, this section of highway was transformed into a 6.5-meter-wide asphalt pavement. The JASON ZHANG Highway we are talking about now starts from the junction of Gao Feng Village and Jiangyin City in the west and ends in Luyuan Town in the east, with a total length of 26.69 kilometers. The whole line is cement concrete pavement with six lanes in both directions. The roadbed is 46 meters wide and the expressway is 24 meters wide. From 1992 to 1993, this highway was completely transformed into a first-class highway and renamed as JASON ZHANG Highway.

2. In 2004, a wavy anti-collision guardrail was set in the middle of the road, which opened up a green passage. There are dozens of meters wide landscape green belts on both sides of the road, which greatly improves the road traffic experience. In March 2005, JASON ZHANG Highway extended eastward, connecting Changshu, with a total length of 10.88 km. After it was opened to traffic in August 2006, the traffic volume reached 49,000 vehicles/day and night, becoming the main road across the central area of the city.
