New highway
Print Edition
An expressway linking Hangzhou with Shaoxing and Taizhou is under construction and is scheduled to open to traffic in 2019.
The 166.2-kilometer Hangzhou-Taizhou Expressway will cost 38.43 billion yuan (US$6.19 billion), 48 percent more than the previous budget.
The new highway will pass through Shengzhou, Xinchang, Pan鈥檃n and Linhai and is listed as a key infrastructure project in Zhejiang Province鈥檚 12th Five-Year Plan (2011-2015).
The section between Hangzhou and Shaoxing will have six lanes and the rest of the highway will have four with a speed limit of 100km per hour.
Construction has already started on the Jianhu section in Shaoxing because of its complicated design and geographic conditions. It is 7.06km long with two tunnels and a bridge.
Meanwhile, a plan for Hangzhou-Wenzhou High-speed Railway has been submitted to the central government for approval, according to Fang Yongjun, director of the Wenzhou Development and Reform Commission.
The 270km railway can shorten the trip from Hangzhou to Wenzhou to just 55 minutes, compared with three hours now and four hours by expressway.
If approved, the new railway will cut across Xiaoshan, Zhuji, Dongyang, Pan鈥檃n, Xianju and Yongjia before reaching Wenzhou on the southeast coast of Zhejiang. Construction is expected to start in 2020 and finish in 2025.
