After the New Year, many citizens living in Guangzhou Avenue in Guangzhou were surprised to find that the Jinsui Road, which had accompanied them for six years, was missing! Due to the construction needs of Guangzhou Avenue Middle Station of Guangzhou Metro Line 10, notices were posted at the four entrances and exits of the Jinsui Road flyover: Closed and demolished at 18:00 on January 1, 2021. Before the completion of the project, the public needed to cross the street to change to a new beret girder steel structure bridge about 50 meters north of the original overpass.
Many citizens familiar with the history of the bridge have reported to the Southern Daily and the Southern + reporter that this overpass is not easy to come by and goes too fast! As early as 2006, the municipal department put forward the planning and construction opinions, and thought it should be completed in a few months, but after eight years of enclosure construction, the ups and downs of the Jinsui Road pedestrian bridge was finally officially opened in 2014. In order to promote the construction of the flyover, the Southern Daily also published "Why can't we afford to build a flyover in seven years?" Why can't a flyover be repaired in two years? "Jinsui Road flyover planning has not started for many years This bridge is only on paper? " and many other reports. According to the news published on the website of Guangzhou Public Resources Exchange Center, the main bridge of the pedestrian bridge project is vertical to Guangzhou Avenue, with a "worker" shaped layout, and the stairs on both sides are underground bilaterally, and the expected contract price is 5.5526 million yuan.
On January 5, the reporter found that the four entrances and exits of the original flyover had been closed and posted notices to guide the public to cross the road by taking the temporary overpass on the north side. Some citizens who did not understand the situation stopped to watch for half a day and followed the guidance to the temporary overpass. The main bridge part of the original overpass has been demolished, and the gap left at the junction has now pulled up a red cordon.
The reporter noted that the current temporary steel structure bridge is located about 50 meters north of the original flyover, and only has the entrance and exit of the unilateral ground located on the north side of Jinsui Road and Guangzhou Avenue, which is very inconvenient compared to the original overpass. If you go from the Nanfang Newspaper (3) bus station (the north-central side of Guangzhou Avenue) to the opposite side of the road, you need to take a new temporary overpass, which is about 10 minutes and 300 meters more than the original, and also bypass the construction site of Metro Line 10 under construction, passing through a zebra crossing with continuous traffic flow and no traffic lights or other traffic instructions, which greatly increases the traffic safety hazards.
Mr. Chen, a citizen, took the bus every day to get off at the Nanfang Newspaper (3) stop and needed to cross the street over the overpass to work at the opposite unit. He was very helpless about the demolition of the original overpass: "Why is it said that the overpass was demolished after it was demolished?" Has it been published in accordance with the procedure? Can municipal planning have a long-term design? Is this huge waste the right thing to say? ”
Mr. Liu, the person in charge of the demolition and construction of the flyover, said that the project had been approved by the government department. "After the original overpass is completely demolished, we will set up traffic warning signs at the zebra crossing," Mr. Liu told reporters, "we will also arrange a traffic coordinator to participate in the traffic guidance there to ensure safety." Mr. Liu also added to reporters, "The remaining undemolished part of the original overpass is expected to be completed within four days." ”
Responsible for the construction of the subway is the 16th Bureau of China Railway, the relevant person in charge of the project department of Line 10 of the bureau, Mr. Sun, told reporters that the original overpass is just above the pre-built subway station, and must be demolished to complete the construction of the subway station. The steel structure bridge currently being built is also temporary, and it will have to be demolished at that time. Mr. Sun said: "After the construction of the subway station is completed, an underground passage will be built, and then everyone can cross the street by taking the underground passage." As for the question of when to complete, Mr. Sun said that the construction of the project is expected to be completed in 2024.
According to the reporter's understanding, the phenomenon of many overpasses in Guangzhou being built and demolished due to subway construction and other reasons has been common: as early as 2014, three pedestrian bridges were demolished in only half a year, and the Shenzhou Road overpass on Science Avenue (costing about 6 million yuan) needed to be demolished due to the construction project of Metro Line 21; the Tongde Garden Overpass in Baiyun District (costing more than 4 million yuan) needed to be demolished due to the construction project of the northern extension of Metro Line 8; and the Huangpu Nangang Pedestrian Bridge (which cost more than 1 million yuan) needed to be demolished due to the construction project of Metro Line 13. The overpass at the junction of Jinsui Road and Zhujiang West Road, not far from the Jinsui Road overpass, was also partially demolished in 2012 at a cost of 2.85 million yuan, citing the impact on the fire fighting of the Tobacco Building in Guangdong Province. At that time, Han Zhipeng, a member of the Guangzhou Municipal Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, questioned that the demolition of the overpass was because it hindered the feng shui of the Guangdong Tobacco Bureau.
