How long is the highway under construction in Jiangxi? When was it built?

Since the founding of the People’s Republic of China, major cities in our country have been actively working on their construction. The development of a city is inseparable from the construction of roads. If you want to be rich, you must first build roads. So far, our country's road construction has been improving day by day. However, as people's living standards improve and every household basically has a car, the demand for expressways has increased. Some cities are still actively building expressways.

The construction of highways can relieve traffic pressure and avoid traffic jams. Speaking of Jiangxi, everyone is familiar with Nanchang, Wuyuan, Jingdezhen and so on. Jiangxi is the "land of plenty" in the south of the Yangtze River, and its economic development is naturally not bad. At the same time, Jiangxi is also a tourist city. It has the largest freshwater lake in my country - Poyang Lake. Wuyuan is famous for its rapeseed flowers, Jingdezhen is famous for its porcelain and Jinggangshan Revolutionary Base. Therefore, in order to develop tourism, Jiangxi actively builds roads to facilitate people's travel. Today I will introduce to you a highway under construction in Jiangxi.

This expressway is called Yijingsui Expressway, that is, the Yichun-Jinggangshan-Suichuan Expressway project. It starts from Xintian Town, Yuanzhou District, Yichun City, and passes through Yuanzhou District, Yichun City and Ji'an City. It covers 22 towns and villages in 6 counties, including Anfu County, Yongxin County, Taihe County, Jinggangshan City and Suichuan County, and ends in Duiziqian Town, Suichuan County. The entire line is about 195 kilometers long and has a design speed of 100 kilometers per hour. It is constructed according to two-way six-lane and two-way four-lane standards, and the entire road surface structure is asphalt concrete.

The Yijingsui Expressway held a groundbreaking ceremony in Meihua Village, Nanmiao Town, Yuanzhou District, Yichun City on December 24, 2019. The total construction period is about three years, and it is expected to be completed and open to traffic in 2023. The total investment of this project is approximately 28.4 billion yuan. It is connected to the Shanghai-Kunming Expressway and the Yichun West Ring Expressway under simultaneous construction. It is an important longitudinal transportation channel in the western part of Jiangxi Province.

The construction of Yijingsui Expressway is an important local line planned and constructed in Jiangxi Province. It connects the three expressways of Shanghai-Kunming, Quannan and Putian, and connects three national-level scenic spots such as Mingyue Mountain, Wugong Mountain and Jinggang Mountain. Scenic spots drive the development of tourism in areas along the route, strengthen connections between surrounding scenic spots, and tourism drives economic development.

The construction of Yijingsui Expressway has improved our country’s expressway network, and also improved Jiangxi’s expressway network, and promoted external exchanges in western Jiangxi. People in western Jiangxi have become more and more convenient to travel, accelerating Economic and social development of central Jiangxi and western Jiangxi. So are you looking forward to the completion of Yijingsui Expressway?
