One thousand three hundred and twenty-three chapters open to traffic
Li Guangyu was very busy in 1991. After just attending the opening ceremony of the Xiangjiang International Airport, Li Guangyu, Cao Weiqing, Du Yuemei and others took a special plane to Huacheng to attend the opening of the Huapeng Expressway here.
After more than three years of construction, the entire Huapeng Expressway has finally been completed, several months later than originally expected.
This is not bad. The Baibei Tunnel on the Rongguo-Chongqing Expressway is far more difficult than planned. It is estimated that the entire Rongguo-Chongqing Expressway will not be opened to traffic until the end of 1992.
However, the section from Rongcheng to Guocheng and the section from Hezhou to Guozhou will be opened to traffic at the end of this year, and the section from Baibei to the main city of Shapingba will also be opened to traffic at the end of this year. What is missing is this ultra-long tunnel.
Hu Yingxiang and others are quite happy that the Huapeng Expressway can be opened to traffic earlier than the Rongguo-Chongqing Expressway. After all, the Huapeng Expressway is much more difficult to build than the Rongguo-Chongqing Expressway. If this is better than the Rongguo-Chongqing Expressway being opened later, they will lose face.
Can't hang on either.
High-level officials in Guangdong Province are very excited about the opening of this expressway. The opening ceremony was attended by high-level officials from the Provincial Party Committee, Provincial Government and the Huacheng Party Committee and Municipal Government.
As for the Pengcheng side, the opening ceremony was hosted by the Pengcheng Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government.
After the leaders spoke, and as the deputy government minister in charge of transportation announced the official opening to traffic, the vehicles that had been prepared slowly drove onto the expressway. The first three months were free of charge, and after three months, the Huapeng Expressway will officially charge a toll.
Li Guangyu, Cao Weiqing, Du Yuemei, the government chief, the deputy chief in charge of transportation, the deputy chief in charge of investment, and several department heads got into a Hengtong official car. This was a minibus, similar to the previous Coaster.
It serves businesses and governments.
This time, Li Guangyu and the others went to Pengcheng not to run on the expressway, but to attend the opening of Pengcheng Airport. After several years of construction, Pengcheng Airport was officially put into use this year.
As for why so many projects will be put into operation during these two days, the main reason is that it is already the twelfth lunar month of 1990, and the Chinese New Year is about to come, so some things that should be put into operation will be put into operation.
Driving on a highway is completely different from driving on a national highway. In addition, the performance is already very good this time, so I don't feel any vibration when sitting on it.
The provincial government chief said: "Our country seems to need to speed up the development of highways. Now the speed is fast and there are no bumps. There will be no traffic jams. It has greatly improved the transportation efficiency and shortened the time."
Find out the time from Huacheng to Pengcheng."
Li Guangyu agreed very much with what Chief Ye said. There is only one highway that is a traffic jam problem. Now this highway is indeed not blocked, it is quite spacious, and there are not many cars running on it.
After the 21st century, the most unhappy thing about holidays is driving on the highway, especially in major central cities. Traffic jams make everyone doubt their life.
I'm afraid no one would have expected that the mainland's automobile market would develop so rapidly in the near future. Even if highways continue to increase, many cities will still have two or three highways between each other, and there will still be traffic jams.
Li Guangyu responded: "Mr. Ye, I believe that in the near future, our country's high-speed mileage will rank first in the world. No country's high-speed mileage can match ours. In the future, from Pengcheng to Rongcheng, Pengcheng
Highways are available all the way to Harbin, Pengcheng and Urumqi. In the future, except for a few areas, county-county highways will be the norm."
Listening to Li Guangyu talking about county-county highways, Mr. Ye still thinks that this pie is too big. The current Huapeng Expressway is mainly supported by government loans from Hopewell Industrial Investment and Tianyu Bank.
Build.
The Rongguo-Chongqing Expressway was built with a full investment of 26 billion yuan by the Li Group, which is equivalent to the annual GDP of many of their cities. Even with the current finances of Guangdong Province, they dare not build a highway between the two cities alone.
Expressway, the government finances are still quite tight now.
Of course, Chief Ye also knows that the Li Group is quite wealthy. If nothing else, the market value of the Bentley Group is equivalent to more than 180 billion Hong Kong dollars. According to the official exchange rate, it is equivalent to more than 130 billion yuan.
If the Li Group is really willing to invest in this area, and if the top management also allows it, it will not be difficult to build an expressway from Shuangqing to Huacheng. Even if it has to pass through Qian Province, he believes that it will not be able to stop the construction of the expressway.
Of course, just think about it. At present, we still have to look at the operation results of Huapeng Expressway and the operation situation of Rongguoyu. It is expected that the results will be available in 1993. Whether to continue to implement these two construction models will directly determine whether each place will
Government planning.
Once the top management allows the development of these two models, Guangdong Province will naturally be one step ahead of its brother provinces. Many entrepreneurs in Xiangjiang are from Guangdong Province, and it will be easier for them to attract investment.
He had already seen the relevant plans from the previous senior official in charge of transportation. As soon as the high-level officials made it clear, Guangdong Province would immediately promote the expressway from Huacheng to Tuodao via Echeng.
Echeng is now an important production base of Xiangjiang Petrochemical Group, and Tuodao is the hometown of many Xiangjiang entrepreneurs. He believes that Li Guangyu and these people are willing to invest.
He said aloud: "Mr. Li, I also hope that our country can accomplish what you said as soon as possible, so that it will no longer be difficult for our people to travel. Travel difficulty is still a major problem we have to solve now. In this regard, I also hope that Mr. Li
and entrepreneurs in Xiangjiang can support the construction of the mainland more."
Not to mention anything else at the moment, just the bus from Guocheng to Pengcheng will have to drive for several days and nights. Once there is a highway, the time can be reduced by at least half, and some goods from the mainland can also be transported quickly by road.
Guangdong Province.
Li Guangyu is still willing to invest in highways. As long as they are not too remote, he will generally not lose money, especially investing in highways between provincial capitals and central cities. Although the initial investment is a bit large, the gains in the later period are very good.
profit.
"Mr. Ye, as long as the policy allows, I am very willing to contribute to the country's transportation industry. I believe that this kind of cooperation will be a win-win situation. Only with better transportation can economic development be faster."
The highway is fast. In less than two hours, Li Guangyu and the others arrived in Bao'an District, Pengcheng from Huacheng, saving nearly half the time compared to traveling on the national highway.
This is the first expressway officially put into operation in the mainland, and the media in the mainland and even Hong Kong have reported on it.
Especially the major TV stations, relying on the advantage of live broadcast, can broadcast the news quickly, while the major newspapers can only wait for tomorrow.
In addition to being happy that the Huapeng Expressway has been put into operation, the senior officials of Sichuan-Sichuan Province also have a sense of urgency in their hearts.
After all, they were approved together, and the Chengguo-Chongqing Expressway was still under construction for several months. Now, it is the Huapeng Expressway that will be opened to traffic first. No matter how many reasons and difficulties there are, if you fall behind, you will fall behind.
In order to complete the project ahead of schedule, senior officials from Sichuan-Sichuan Province and Zhou Faxiang, director of Jiulong Group and general manager of the Chengdu-Guoyu Expressway, discussed advancing the construction period. Finally, it was agreed that senior officials from Sichuan-Sichuan Province would come forward to contact the engineering corps to speed up the progress of Baibei.
The progress of the tunnel aims to put the entire expressway into operation on July 1, 1992.
And some provincial leaders are waiting for the central government. As long as these two models allow, they will follow suit. If they want to get rich, they must first build roads. Only when transportation is convenient can the economy develop better.
