The Wuhan-Tianmen Expressway has recently laid the first test pile, and it is expected that the entire line will officially start construction in the middle of next year, and the test pile of the project means that the landing date of the project is close at hand. The expressway is part of the planned Wuhan-Yichang-Chongqing national expressway, and its direction between Wuhan and Yichang is very smooth.
The Wutianyi Expressway starts from the north side of Yangxin Village, Yuxian Street, Caidian District, Wuhan City, passes through Caidian District of Wuhan City, Hanchuan City of Xiaogan City, Tianmen City of the county-level city directly under the direct administration of the province, Shayang County of Jingmen City, Danyang City of Yichang City, and finally reaches the vicinity of Yichang City.
The biggest highlight of Wutianyi Expressway is that its direction is very straight, and it is not difficult to open the map to find that the urban areas of Wuhan, Tianmen and Yichang are almost in a straight line. Because of this, the planned Wu Tianyi high-speed direction is almost a very straight straight line.
Judging from the planning map of the expressway network in Hubei Province, the Wutianyi Expressway is located exactly between the Shanghai-Chongqing Expressway and the Hurong Expressway, which have been completed and opened to traffic, and the arrangements from north to south are Shanghai-Rong Expressway, Wutianyi Expressway and Shanghai-Chongqing Expressway. Among them, the direction of the Hanyi section of the Hurong Expressway and the Hanyi section of the Shanghai-Chongqing Expressway both show an arc, the Hurong Expressway is a detour to the north, and the Shanghai-Chongqing Expressway is a south bypass.
In this way, the strategic significance of the Wutianyi Expressway is self-evident, and after it is completed and opened to traffic, it will become the shortest time-consuming expressway between Wuhan and Tianmen to Yichang. As the saying goes, time is money, and once the Wutianyi Expressway is completed and opened to traffic, it will attract more car owners who often travel between Wuhan and Yichang, abandoning the original route and taking the new Wutianyi Expressway.
Without considering the different charging standards, driving from Wuhan to Yichang and taking the Wutianyi Expressway is obviously more time-saving than taking the Shanghai-Chongqing Expressway and the Shanghai-Rong Expressway. Even if in the future, the Wutianyi Expressway will be more expensive than Shanghai-Chongqing and Hurong in normal times, at least during the free passage period on holidays, its advantages are obvious.
In addition to saving the self-driving time from Wuhan to Yichang, the Significance of the Wutianyi Expressway for tianmen, a county-level city directly under the direct management of the province, is also extraordinary, which will end the history of Tianmen without a direct expressway to the provincial capital Wuhan, and will also allow all cities in the Wuhan city circle to integrate into the Wuhan one-hour economic circle.
In addition, the Wutianyi Expressway will also have an immediate effect on alleviating the congestion of the Hanyi section of the Shanghai-Chongqing Expressway and the Hanyi section of the Shanghai-Chongqing Expressway, especially the congestion of the Xiantao section of the Shanghai-Chongqing Expressway. First of all, after the completion and opening of the Wutianyi Expressway, the Tianmen and Shayang people who need to take the Shanghai-Chongqing Expressway or the Shanghai-Rong Expressway to get home from Wuhan before, they will have a direct highway, and they will no longer have to bypass the Shanghai-Chongqing or Shanghai-Rong Expressway, so that Wu Tianyi will play a role in diverting the flow.
In Yichang people in Wuhan, Jingzhou people also have one more choice to return to their hometown, not necessarily have to take the Shanghai-Chongqing Expressway home, you can completely take the more straight Wutianyi Expressway, avoiding the congested Shanghai-Chongqing Expressway Xiantao section. After a large number of vehicles are diverted to the Wutianyi Expressway, the congestion problem of the Hanyi section of the Shanghai-Chongqing Expressway and the Hanyi section of the Hurong Expressway is naturally alleviated.
It can be said that the Wutianyi Expressway is the most critical move to optimize and improve the road network in the central and western parts of Hubei, which plays a diversion role in the east and the west, complements each other with the Shanghai-Rong Expressway and the Shanghai-Chongqing Expressway, and becomes each other's double line, which can significantly improve the vehicle traffic capacity between Wuhan and Yichang.
In fact, in addition to cities such as Tianmen and Yichang, which will directly benefit from the Wutianyi Expressway, there are also residents of Enshi, Jingmen and other places that will also become the beneficiaries of this expressway, and some residents of these two places will go to Wuhan, and taking the Wutianyi Expressway can also more or less reduce their self-driving time.
Wu Tianyi Expressway can play a very key role in accelerating the economic development speed of Tianmen, a county-level city directly under the direct management of the province, and improving the convenience of residents to go out, which can accelerate the integration of Tianmen, which is slightly farther from Wuhan in the Wuhan urban circle, into the Wuhan economic circle, which is indeed a happy thing for Tianmen people.
It is expected that the Wutianyi Expressway on the Road to People's Livelihood will start substantially at an early date, and the entire line will be completed and opened to traffic as soon as possible, so that when Tianmen people go out, they will be more diversified in the choice of routes, and the highway network in the Jianghan Plain will be more abundant and perfect.
