Starting from January 1, 2025, the construction of the third section of the Yiling Yangtze River Bridge expressway improvement project (spanning the No. 3 Shengli Road, the Chengdong Avenue and the Gangyao Road) will begin with traffic control measures. The planned timeline for the construction of the overpass crossing the No. 3 Shengli Road spans from January 1 to October 31, 2025. During this period, the section of the No. 3 Shengli Road between the Tiyuchang Road and the Chengdong Avenue will be closed to all traffic except pedestrians and non-motorized vehicles. The flyover project across the Chengdong Avenue is scheduled to be constructed from January 1, 2025, to January 31, 2026, with part of the road lanes becoming available as construction progresses. Meanwhile, the elevated approach bridge on the Chengdong Avenue will be under construction from March 1 to October 31, 2025, with part of the road lanes being occupied in stages.
The traffic control measures include the following: On the stretch of the Chengdong Avenue from the No. 3 Shengli Road to the Gangyao Road, four two-way lanes and pedestrian pathways, each 1.5 meters wide on both sides, will be maintained for traffic. Additionally, on the section of the Chengdong Avenue from the Gangyao Road to the Shanheyuan Road, two lanes in each direction and the sidewalks will remain open.
The traffic police caution that there are still scattered construction sites along the entire length of the No 3 Shengli Road, with only temporary bypasses available for traffic. Traffic control will be conducted gradually. Residents are advised to plan their routes in advance. (Reporter/Chen Fei, Correspondent/ Zhu Huagang)
