Recently, the road widening project of Changhua Road (Luoxiu Road-Huafa Road), a key transportation project in Xuhui District, has ushered in significant progress. As a key part of the "six vertical" road network of north-south transportation in Xuhui District, the rapid progress of the project not only demonstrates Xuhui District's firm determination to improve regional transportation and enhance economic development, but also brings a new experience of smooth travel to the general public.
Since the Changhua Road (Luoxiu Road-Huafa Road) road widening project was officially launched on July 31, all work has been in full swing. The project stretches from Luoxiu Road in the north to Huafa Road in the south, with a total length of about 784 meters and a width of 32 to 40 meters on the red line. The purpose of this widening project is to widen and upgrade the existing Changhua Road and Old Bridge in an all-round way to meet the growing traffic demand.
So far, the project has made significant progress. In terms of bridge widening, the construction team has successfully widened the existing Changhua Road old bridge to the east and built a new half of the bridge across the Dianpu River. This measure will increase the scale of the main lane of Changhua Road from the original two-way 2 lanes to two-way 4 lanes, thereby greatly improving the road capacity. This is not only in line with the functional positioning of the six longitudinal backbone roads, but also will effectively alleviate the traffic pressure adjacent to the old Humin Road and Longwu Road. At the same time, the alignment near the intersection on the north side has been adjusted according to the plan, aligned with Longchuan Road on the north side, forming an intersection, breaking through the congestion points, and providing a smoother travel environment for the public.
In addition, the project also focuses on the improvement of the slow traffic system. New non-motorized lanes and sidewalks have been built along the line, and traffic safety facilities, pole lighting, and greening facilities have been updated. The auxiliary roads on both sides of the main line will be organically connected with the entrances and exits of the plots on both sides and the riverside trails, which will fundamentally solve the pain points of the current old roads and old bridges and meet the travel needs of residents along the plots.
In parallel with the implementation of this project, the construction of various municipal public pipelines will be laid, and the laying of these pipelines will provide necessary municipal infrastructure support for the development of plots along the line and regional development.
It is reported that the Changhua Road (Luoxiu Road-Huafa Road) road widening project is planned to be basically completed by the end of October this year. At that time, the transportation network of Changqiao Street and Huajing Town in Xuhui District will be more perfect.
