Yangjin Bridge is similar to Nanjing ShiusuHu Bridge, from Jinhu in the north to Gaoyou in the south, with a total length of less than 20 kilometers.
Yangjinte Bridge has been promoted, a large part of the land in Jinhu comes from Gaoyou, Baoying, from the perspective of feelings and living habits, Jinhu people are more inclined to Yangzhou.
Yangzhou's metropolitan area endowment is very good, Zhenjiang, Taizhou two major domestic strong cities, urban areas are on the border of Yangzhou, Tianchang, Jinhu and other non-subordinate counties, Yangzhou centripetal force is very strong. Logically, Yangzhou has the geopolitical conditions to grow into a megacity.
Lianhuai Yang town railway project total investment of 86%, Yantong, Xuhuai, interchange are five and a half to half, indicating that the importance of Lian town is very high.
Looking at the Nanjing-Huai Railway, because the two provinces are coordinated and too close to lianzhen, the progress is very slow.
At the beginning, it was proposed that the construction of the Gaoyou Lake Special Bridge could perfectly solve the dilemma of the Nanjing-Huai Railway. That is, the overall line of Lianzhen takes the western line, Huai'an West, Yangzhou (originally the West Railway Station), and Nanjing Longtan Tangshan line down, the new line formed is very favorable to Nanjing, which is equivalent to taking a new southbound passage.
The status quo is Huai'an East, Yangzhou East, Zhenjiang East, even the town's passenger flow is far from Ninghuai can be compared, the GDP and population of the two lines through the area are multiples, and Ninghuai can not go directly to the hub of Nanjing South Railway Station.
More importantly, Lianzhen is a southbound line, and the traffic plan released by Hangzhou points out that the second railway channel of Ninghang is Zhenhang. That is to say, in the future, Lianzhen can not only go directly to Shanghai and southern Jiangsu, but also go south to Hangzhou, and most of the cities along Lianzhen are the traditional hinterland of Nanjing. The impact of this on the future regional pattern is very far-reaching.
If the Ninghuai Railway had taken the Gaoyou Lake line, I am afraid that it would have been opened to traffic earlier
If the Yangjin Cross-Gaoyou Lake Special Bridge can be completed in the future, it will effectively improve the first place of Yangzhou City, and will also play a great role in promoting the southward movement of Huai'an and Jinhu and accelerating the integration into the Yangtze River Delta industrial system. That's a good thing, and it would have been better if it had been ten years earlier, with the public railway going up together, like the Ishiusushu Bridge.
Anqing served as the provincial capital for more than two hundred years, but was forced to give up Xian because it was really inappropriate.
Nanjing's location in Jiangsu is similar to Anqing's in Anhui, which requires relying on neighboring cities in the province to play the role of provincial capital. Therefore, the importance of Yangzhou, Zhenjiang and Changzhou to the future of Nanjing is decisive.
