With many national-level reputations such as national afforestation and greening advanced counties, advanced counties of soil and water conservation, advanced counties of returning farmland to forests, greening model counties, national garden counties, national civilized counties, national health counties, etc., The inconvenience of transportation has been a bottleneck restricting the development of here for a long time, even though the scenery is beautiful and the resources are abundant, but many tourists and businesses look at the scenery and sigh. In recent years, Pengyang County has used the strength of the whole county to take highway construction as a way to make up for the shortcomings of poverty alleviation, open up the "bottleneck" of opening up to the outside world, and promote highway traffic construction at full speed.
Today, muddy country roads have become spacious and smooth cement roads, asphalt roads, and rural roads from scratch, from narrow to wide, from open to smooth. A Pengqing Expressway, nestled in green mountains and trees, has gradually transformed Pengyang County in liupanshan district from a "crappy area" for highway traffic into a "hub area", and has also changed the life of the Ma Chenglan family in Dianwa Village, an ancient town in Pengyang County.
In June 1980, Ma Chenglan got married, and the marriage team took her from Mawa Village in Xinji Countryside to Dianwa Village in Gucheng Town. Although the two villages are not far apart, they must pass through the dusty Pengqing Highway. "One foot down, half of the pants leg is all dirt." Recalling the situation at that time, Ma Chenglan still remembers it vividly. "There was only one carriage borrowed from the production team, and the man who sent the relatives walked and the woman rode in the carriage. The first thing I did when I arrived at my in-laws' house was to busily slap each other's soil and wash and dress up again. ”
After starting a family, Ma Chenglan and her husband lived in a small cave. The husband is hard-working and works outside the home after busy family work. Ma Chenglan said that the children now are really happy, whether it is sunny or rainy, the road is clean, the small white shoes will always be small white shoes, there will be no mud on the two feet of the door, and the gray appearance on the sunny day. She remembers that in the late 1980s, her son would not like rain when he went to school, and although it was already a gravel road, he could not avoid wearing bulky mud shoes to school. At that time, the family was poor, and she could not afford to buy a pair of rain boots for her children, and every time it rained, she would put plastic bags on her children's cloth shoes, but the shoes were still wet. When the children went to high school, the Pengqing Highway in front of their homes has become a asphalt road, and there are green trees on both sides of the road, not only the traffic is more convenient, the environment is much better, they go out to work conveniently, the way to make money is also more, and the family has purchased TV sets, bicycles and other objects.
"The road is wider, spacious and flat, the product is convenient to go out of the mountain, and the cost is also reduced."
"The road is good, no longer sunny days are gray, rainy days are covered in mud." The people's conversation and laughter revealed the benefits brought to them by the changes in the highway.
The highway has become a bridge to a happy life. In 2009, thanks to the policy of renovating dangerous kilns and dangerous houses, Ma Chenglan's family built a new brick house. In November 2012, the Pengqing Expressway started, and Ma Chenglan and her husband worked at the doorstep of their homes to earn money and take care of the family. At that time, the home not only renovated the courtyard wall, but also added a small car. Villagers throughout Dianwa Village also moved en masse and moved into new government settlements. In September 2015, the Pengqing Expressway was opened to traffic.
The development and change of this rural road is also a microcosm of the development of pengyang highway traffic.
On August 18, 2020, the construction of the Sun Mountain to Pengyang section of the G85 Yinkun Expressway began in an all-round way, which will be another "fast lane" for the masses in Pengyang Mountain to get rich, and also a "fast lane" for the people in the mountainous area to step onto a happy life.
