▲Waiting to open to traffic
"The highway is open, and it is more convenient to go home!" Hu Lan, who works in Weiyuan County, is a native of Xiaohe Town. In the past, she had to drive from the county seat to Xiaohe Town to the highway under Wang Yang Town in Renshou County, and then detour back to Xiaohe Town, which took 80 minutes, but now it only takes more than 40 minutes.
"Xiaohe Town is no longer an inaccessible town, and it only takes about 60 minutes to get to Chengdu (Tianfu Airport)." Hu Lan said.
The smooth opening of the Xiaohe Toll Station of Chengyi Expressway is of great significance to improving the traffic operation of Xiaohe Town and serving the travel of the people, ending the history of no expressway in the local area, and can drive the economic construction of "ecologically livable sweet city tea town".
