Hongkou connected to Jing’an

A former dead-end road in Hongkou District has been extended and connected to neighboring Jing’an District to help relieve traffic congestion.

The 326-meter section of Zhuzhou Road was once a narrow lane dominated by illegal buildings.

Over 1,000 square meters of illegal structures have been demolished and it is now 24 meters wide with two vehicle lanes.

A bridge was built to cross the Yujingpu River and links the new road with Beibaoxing Road in Jing'an.

Vehicles can now drive to Yanchang Road directly. Congestion on the busy Guangzhong Road in both Hongkou and Jing’an is expected to be reduced.

Previously, drivers detoured for about a kilometer to reach Yanchang Road, which takes 30 minutes during rush hours.
