Urban tunnel plan
Print Edition
CHINA is planning to build a network of utility tunnels by 2020 to improve its urban planning.
The tunnels will help solve problems such as “road zippers” and “overhead spider webs,” the State Council said in a statement yesterday.
Road zippers refer to ditches that are often dug open for repairs and installation, disrupting traffic and local life. Spider webs — of power lines and telecommunications cables spread overhead — are also familiar sights.
The tunnels will carry utility lines such as electricity, water, heating and sewer pipes as well as telecommunications and television cables, all collectively laid underground, the statement said.
The corridors will not only improve city life, but also stimulate investment, it said.
