New highways, like dragons, build bridges between deep mountains and valleys, and have the potential to cross mountains and rivers.
The Red River State is mountainous, and it is difficult to build roads, tunnels and bridges, but the newly built highways are "economic arteries".

Let's take a look at the economic level of Honghe Prefecture in 2020, and achieve a GDP of 241.747 billion yuan in 2020, ranking third in the province in terms of total economic volume. In particular, the traffic performance is also extremely superior. Of the 13 highways planned for construction, it is reported that 8 have been completed and opened to traffic, 5 are stepping up, and the mileage of traffic has exceeded 1,000 kilometers!
This proves that the transportation infrastructure of the Red River State has taken a lot of effort.
In recent years, the construction of expressways in Honghe Prefecture has been overwhelming, and a number of high-speed constructions have been continuously promoted, accelerating the "big channel" system of transportation in Honghe State. In 2021, 7 new expressway projects are planned to be added in Honghe Prefecture: Luxi to Qiubei to Guangnan to Funing, Eshan to Shiping to Honghe, Pingbian to Hekou, Kaiyuan to Jianshui, Hekou to Maguan, Jinping to Jinshuihe, and Tonghai to Shiping.
The "Jinping to Jinshui River" mentioned in it, the high-speed connection port, has made further progress.
According to the announcement, the highway has a total length of 44 kilometers, an investment of about 9.5 billion yuan, and is expected to be completed and delivered in 2024.
A few days ago, Honghe Prefecture issued the "Construction Supervision Bidding Announcement for Construction Facilities along the Jinping-Jinshuihe Expressway", and the construction unit is Honghe Jinjin Expressway Investment and Construction Development Co., Ltd., which adopts the PPP model.
Jinping-Jinshuihe Expressway is located in Honghe Prefecture, Yunnan Province, the main line starts in the east of Jinping County, Honghe Prefecture, connects to the end of Jinping Expressway in Jianman, and ends in Jinshuihe Village, Jinshuihe Town, Jinping County, Honghe Prefecture, and connects with the planned road of Jinshuihe Port.
The total length of the route is 44.21 km, of which 40.855 km are expressways and 3.355 km are primary highways.
The preliminary design estimate of the project is 9,489,636,665,000 yuan, and the construction and installation cost is 7,399,937,581 yuan.
According to the bidding announcement, the construction period of the Jinping-Jinshuihe Expressway is planned to be 36 months, and the supervision service period is planned to be 36 months. The planned start date is July 2021 and the planned delivery date is June 2024.
Let's look at the specific route settings:
The Mengla Link starts at K92+230 (level intersection of the first-class highway section) of the main line of the project and ends at Xinmeng Village, Mengla Township, connecting to the existing road, with a length of 8.897 km.
There are 2 interchange interchanges in the whole line, Jinping East and Rake Rudder. Simultaneous construction of Jinping East interchange connection line 0.298 km, rake rudder interchange connection line 4.414 km.
The section of the main line from Jinping to Manpeng is 40.855 kilometers long, and is built with two-way four-lane highway standards, and the section from Manpeng to Jinshui river is 3.355 kilometers long, and is built with two-way four-lane first-class highway standards. The design speed of the entire line is 80 km/h and the width of the roadbed is 25.5 meters.
The Mengla link adopts the construction of the primary highway standard, with a design speed of 60 km / h and a subgrade width of 20.0 meters; the Jinping East Interchange connection line adopts the secondary highway standard construction, with a design speed of 60 km / h and a subgrade width of 12.0 m; the target rudder interchange connection line is built with a tertiary highway standard, with a design speed of 30 km / h and a road 2 / 5 base width of 7.5 meters.
Jinping
Last year, the feasibility study report of the Jinping-Jinshuihe Expressway was approved and approved for construction. In the previous feasibility study report, the total length of the route mentioned was 46.37 kilometers, with a total investment of 9.3 billion yuan.
Compared with the content of this tender, the mileage and investment have changed. The mileage has become shorter, from 46.37 km to 44.21 km, and the total investment has increased from 9.3 billion yuan to nearly 9.5 billion yuan. This shows that the high speed of this connecting port is not so easy.
For this highway located south of the Red River, preliminary work was started as early as 2018. It is a section of the expressway network of Yunnan Province, "Yongren-Dayao-Shuangbai-Yuanjiang-Yuanyang-Jinping-JinshuiHe", and is an important passageway for Jinping, the port of Yunnan Province.
Therefore, its construction is not only a major transportation channel and an economic channel, but also assumes the role of "internationalization".
It can be seen that the construction of the Jinping-Jinshuihe Expressway is also a project that the local people are looking forward to.
With further advancement, it is not far from completion. Looking forward to completion in 2024!
