According to the District Major Projects Construction Headquarters Office, Hailun Road (the section from Siping Road to Hailaer Road), the Road Reconstruction Project has been officially launched recently. The traffic condition of the Puxi exit of Xinjian Road Tunnel will become smooth in the near future.
The engineering designer introduced that, the existed Hailun Road only had 2 lanes with 8 to 9 meters width, after broadened the road, the width will reach 35 to 40 meters, had 6 to 7 lanes in two-ways. The total length of the project lasts 628 meters, the construction period is about 1 year, and the project will adopt north and south alternative construction to guarantee the smooth operation of Hailun Road. At the meantime, Hailaer Road will be broadened, and the width will be broadened from 11-12 meters to 32 meters on 4 lanes in two-ways.
Because Hailun Road is located in the center of Shanghai, the involved pipelines, transportation, and other conditions are very complex. In order to successfully realize the transformation of Hailun Road within a year, the project took the first mode of general contract of survey and design in this district, ensuring that the design and exploration work closely.
The construction of Shanjinggang Bridge has already launched, and construction workers are currently moving part of the pipeline. The project official expressed that, they would take measurements to guarantee the smooth transportation of Hailun Road in the follow-up construction.
It’s known that Hailun Road is an important ancillary road for Beiheng Passage. The project will help refine the surrounding roads and improve the regional traffic conditions. Thus, Xinjian Road Tunnel will play a better role in connecting core areas of Pudong and Puxi, and lay a solid foundation for promoting regional economic development.
