In the grand blueprint of transportation construction, the Yongshan to Yanjin section of the Repokahalo to Yongshan connection line is undoubtedly a huge investment. It is estimated that the cost of this 70-kilometer expressway is more than 200 million yuan per kilometer, with a total investment of more than 16 billion yuan. Such a huge investment can't help but make people have a strong interest in the economic account of this "golden" highway.
At present, it only takes about an hour to take the secondary road from Yongshan to Yanjin Pu'er on the expressway. However, when this expensive highway was completed, the time advantage from Yongshan to Shiojin was not obvious. This not only raises questions about the return on investment, but also makes us wonder: is such a high investment really worth the money?
From an economic point of view, the high cost of highways is mainly due to their complex engineering and geographical environment. Factors such as many bridges and tunnels and complex terrain greatly increase the difficulty and cost of construction. And the high cost of construction also means that tolls will not be cheap, which undoubtedly increases the cost of driving. Against this backdrop, one can't help but ask: can such an expensive toll really allow investors to pay for themselves in a short period of time?
However, we can't just look at this from an economic point of view. The construction of expressways is not only to shorten the travel time, but also to promote the development of the regional economy and improve the living standards of the people. The construction of the Yongshan-Yanjin Expressway will further improve the transportation network and promote resource development and economic cooperation along the route. At the same time, it will also provide local people with a more convenient and comfortable way to travel and improve their quality of life.
Of course, we should also be aware of the environmental problems caused by the construction of highways. Highways with many bridges and tunnels often cause certain damage and impact on the natural environment. Therefore, while promoting the construction of expressways, we should also pay attention to environmental protection and ecological restoration. Through scientific and reasonable planning and design, the impact and damage to the natural environment are minimized.
To sum up, although the construction of the Yongshan-Yanjin Expressway is expensive and the toll is not cheap, the economic and social benefits it brings are also obvious. On the basis of giving full consideration to economic, environmental and other factors, we should scientifically plan and rationally promote the construction of expressways. At the same time, we should also focus on improving the quality and efficiency of transportation services, so that the people can truly benefit from the convenience and well-being brought by the construction of expressways.
