Zigong network reporter Li Qiuyue
On October 14, the reporter learned from Sichuan Chengyi Expressway Development Co., Ltd. that with the opening of the south line of the Chengdu Tianfu International Airport Expressway at 0:00 on October 15, the high-speed direct connection channel from the main urban area of Chengdu to Zigong was opened, and the two places achieved 2-hour interconnection, and the three toll stations (iron works, shuanggu, and hekou) of the Chengdu-Zigong-Yibin Expressway in the territory of Rong County in our city were all put into use, and the line was temporarily free of charge.
The Tianfu International Airport Expressway has a total length of 89 kilometers, divided into the northern line (70 kilometers) and the southern line (19 kilometers), of which 70 kilometers of the northern line has been completed and opened to traffic in December 2020. The construction of the southern line began in July 2019, starting from Yongquan Village, Yucheng Street, Chengdu Eastern New District, connecting with the north line of Tianfu Airport Expressway, passing through Caochi Street and Tianfu International Airport T3/T4 Terminal, ending at Qingfeng Interchange in Dongjiageng Town, connecting Chengdu to Zigong to Yibin Expressway, with a total length of 19 kilometers, using a two-way 6-lane standard construction, with a design speed of 120 kilometers per hour.

Reporters explore the way --
On the 14th, the reporter drove in from the Neiyi Expressway Zigong Huidong Toll Station, turned into the Lezi Expressway at the Yong'an Hub Interchange, and drove about 30 minutes to the Rongzhou Hub Interchange, which can be selected to go to Yibin, Leshan and Chengdu respectively. Through the two-lane ramp, follow the signs to drive into the Chengdu to Zigong to Yibin Expressway.

The reporter saw that whether it is the road surface along the line, the green isolation belt, or the split lane line, signs and signs, all kinds of traffic facilities are readily available, and the entire high-speed route is straight and has fewer curves. Driving through the Rongzhou junction continues to the direction of Chengdu, and will pass through the four tunnels of Rongyin Mountain, Tieshan Mountain, Niufeng Mountain and Huayang Mountain in turn. According to the reporter's calculation, according to the average speed of the whole journey of 100 kilometers per hour, it takes about 65 minutes to drive from the Rongzhou hub to the end of the expressway - the Chengdu Economic Zone Ring Expressway. Nowadays, it is connected to the south line of the Chengdu Tianfu International Airport Expressway, which undoubtedly greatly reduces the time cost of traveling to the provincial capital and facilitates travel.
