This spring, the townships laid the foundation with potato stones, the county was responsible for filling and compacting the river sand, and the region was responsible for paving the asphalt roads.
For an 18-meter road surface, the middle 9 meters are paved with asphalt first, and the two sides are paved two years later, which reduces the workload and cost of asphalt paving. At this time, only the regional transportation bureau has the equipment for paving asphalt.
A subsidy of 1.5 yuan is given to each volunteer worker. It is inconvenient for people to go out and eat and stay away from home, so it is reasonable to give them some subsidy.
Construction of all major bridges along the line began this year. If there are not enough construction teams, they will look for them from surrounding areas. I heard that their construction teams do not undertake many projects.
A command center was set up in the region, and each department-level cadre was responsible for a county or city. A command center was also set up in the county, and the front-line command was based on the battle plan!
The time is set for mid-May. At this time, spring sowing has been completed, there is little rain, and there are still twenty days before the wheat harvest. It is a gap period, and the roadbed renovation task can be completed in fifteen days.
We will use the month before the start of construction to mobilize technical forces from all aspects to make full plans and assign tasks.
At five o'clock one afternoon, Sun Zongyuan was picked up by the Prefectural Party Committee's car and taken to a room in the government guesthouse. There were four people in the room: Prefectural Party Committee Secretary Li Chuanyu, Prefectural Party Committee Deputy Secretary and Commissioner Sun Peiqing, Prefectural Party Committee Standing Committee Member and Deputy Commissioner Shen Congde, and Regional Transportation Bureau Director Wang Jiayu.
After Director Wang briefly introduced the planning and design of the two main traffic arteries to Sun Zongyuan, Secretary Li said:
"Zongyuan, we've put out the plans for these two roads, but I still feel uneasy, as if we haven't handled some areas properly. As an observer, you have experience. Could you please give us some advice? Share your thoughts."
Sun Zongyuan carefully read the planning and design and took notes as he read. In the past, the Ganhe area developed slowly due to traffic constraints. Only after several traffic bottlenecks were resolved did Ganhe develop rapidly. However, the opportunity period was already half over and it was far surpassed by cities of the same size in the southern Jiangsu Province. Ganhe has not caught up for more than 30 years and has instead been falling further and further behind.
With this opportunity to provide regional advisors, we must find ways to break through these bottlenecks, completely liberate the endogenous driving force of the Ganhe region, and enable Shandong Province and even the north to rise first.
"Dear leaders, I know I can't say enough. If I say something wrong, please feel free to criticize me."
"Just treat us as students!" said Secretary Li.
“Here are some of my suggestions.”
Director Wang next to him quickly picked up a pen and prepared to take notes.
"We can build the east-west National Highway 327 in a different way. We can connect the east to Shixia Port in our province. After all, it will be much more convenient for us to transport goods through ports within the province than outside the province in the future. So we changed the route to the east in Banlin Town, 25 kilometers east of Ganhe City, leading to Shixia Port. The length of the diversion is only about 20 kilometers, but we can reach the coastal port in 45 kilometers, which is beneficial to our development. If we continue to follow 327, we will have to travel 100 kilometers more to reach the coastal port in Jiangsu Province, which is not worth the loss. This is the first point."
Secretary Li and several other leaders nodded in agreement.
"The west side of 327 enters the Yongganhe area from the Zoushan area, of which 30 kilometers are in mountainous areas with many bends and steep slopes, making it difficult to navigate. My suggestion is to go straight from Shijing to the regional boundary and build tunnels through the three high mountains. I estimate the total length will not exceed 3 kilometers, but it can shorten the distance by more than 20 kilometers. The key is to quickly improve traffic capacity and ensure traffic safety."
“???, is it possible to do this?” Several leaders were surprised!
"We don't have a tunnel construction team?" asked Commissioner Sun Peiqing.
"Commissioner Sun, we can think differently. If we don't have a team, we can form one ourselves. We can collect all the engineers who have retired in the region within the past ten years, gather them together, purchase some equipment, and establish a specialized company specializing in tunnel excavation. These tunnels we've created can serve as training ground for them. In the future, major transportation projects across the province, and even the nation, will provide ample opportunities for them to demonstrate their skills!"
"I think this is a good idea. Old Shen, you will be responsible for coming up with a preparation plan."
"Okay, Secretary!" Shen Congde replied.
"Third, we can build a 1.2-kilometer bridge across Hongqi Lake, a man-made reservoir running northwest-southeast, where National Highway 216 enters Ganhe District from the outside. We used to run along the lake, making a semicircle and adding 18 kilometers to our route. We can make up for that this time."
"Well, why didn't I think of that?" Director Wang patted his head and said to himself.
"The fourth suggestion is to extend the 72 kilometers of Highway 216 south into Jiangsu Province. Since it basically followed the ancient route, it twisted and turned along the dry river. If we follow the current county road, not only will three townships along the route benefit, but the distance will also be shortened by 20 kilometers. Of course, a new 600-meter-long bridge will need to be built across the dry river."
"By saving on construction costs, we have funds for bridge construction. It will take two years to open the three tunnels, so funding is not a big problem. We can continue to use the tunnels that do not need to be renovated in the next two years."
"If possible, let's also build the Ganhe Honghua Township Bridge. It's only 800 meters long."
"For steep slopes on the road, it is recommended to use explosives to level them as much as possible. The rectification can be completed in one go. Of course, some places require professional construction teams. I have finished my suggestions, and I would like to invite leaders to criticize and correct me!" said Sun Zongyuan.
In Sun Zongyuan's previous life, these problems were gradually solved and overcome within five years after entering the new century. This time, Sun Zongyuan raised them to the leaders of the Prefectural Party Committee at once and asked them to approve his suggestions.
"You just talked about highways. Do you have any good suggestions for urban roads?"
"The construction standards for urban roads and highways are different. First, from a planning and design perspective, urban roads must ensure adequate water, rainwater, water storage, and natural gas pipelines. Strong power lines, weak points, and streetlights must also be laid underground. All of this needs to be planned and designed in advance. Furthermore, sufficient building red lines must be left. Generally, streets should be 28 meters, branch roads 40 meters, and main roads should be at least 60 meters. Major city entrances and exits should be 100 meters. Otherwise, later demolition and urban renewal will be extremely difficult and cost a fortune. It's basically a pound of the dice."
"Is there anything else you don't understand?" Everyone shook their heads.
"Since there are no objections, Director Wang, I think you must redesign these two roads overnight. Let's just complete each one. Don't leave us with regrets or cause trouble for future generations. Let's do it well."
"Comrade Xiao Sun has a very advanced vision, which we cannot compare with. The future belongs to you young people. You must control yourselves well, not make mistakes, stick to your original intentions, be clean and upright, and do more practical and good things for our country and the people, otherwise we will not let you go!" Li Chuanyu said seriously.
