During the Qingming holiday, many vehicles on and off the high speed have to take the third ring road. However, due to the closed construction of half of the roads in the South Third Ring Road, when a large number of vehicles poured in these days, road congestion occurred. The reporter learned yesterday that the 8-kilometer-long West Third Ring Road will also begin semi-closed overhaul in mid-April. The South Third Ring Road, which is being renovated, has two lanes enclosed for construction, leaving two lanes for passage. Will the simultaneous construction of two sections of the Third Ring Road affect the traffic capacity of the third ring road? In this regard, relevant departments said that the South Third Ring Road renovation project will be completed before May 1st, while the West Third Ring Road overhaul will be completed before the National Day. The South Third Ring Road has a long construction period due to heavy rain. The day before yesterday, the last day of the Qingming holiday, due to a large number of vehicles returning, the South Third Ring Road and the Luozhou Bridge were heavily congested. The West Third Ring Road will be overhauled soon, and many citizens expect that the road renovation of the South Third Ring Road can be completed as soon as possible. Yesterday afternoon, Haidu reporter learned from the South Third Ring Road Improvement Project Department that the road renovation project of the South Third Ring Road was the South Third Ring Road between kuipu Bridge and Luozhou Bridge, totaling 2.8 kilometers. This section of road renovation project began in last September and will be completed before May 1st this year. By then, the potholes of the South Third Ring Road are expected to be completely improved. After the road enclosure is removed, the traffic capacity of the South Third Ring Road will also increase significantly. Some citizens questioned why it took nearly 8 months to transform the 2.8-kilometer road? In this regard, the staff of the South Third Ring Road renovation project department said that the main reason was that since last September, the weather in Fuzhou was mainly cloudy and rainy. However, this section of road reconstruction adopts the process of adding cover foam asphalt after on-site cold recycling treatment of the main pavement base. Compared with traditional technology, foamed asphalt plays a stronger role in preventing pavement cracking. However, because these two technologies cannot be constructed in rainy days, the construction period is relatively long. The overhaul of the West Third Ring Road can be completed before the National Day. In addition to the South Third Ring Road, the West Third Ring Road is also a seriously damaged section. According to reports, the West Third Ring Road was built in 2003. Due to the large traffic volume of vehicles, especially heavy vehicles, and the long service life, the pavement base layer was damaged to varying degrees, resulting in network cracking and sinking and potholes in asphalt mat. The relevant person in charge of Fuzhou Municipal Engineering Management Office said that they planned to transform the pavement. The project started from Hongwan Road, and finally the Bay Bridge, with a total length of 8.018 kilometers and a width of 65 meters. The person in charge said that after the overhaul is carried out on-site cold recycling treatment for the main pavement base, the asphalt is covered, and the pavement on the auxiliary Road is improved accordingly. The construction units are Kaidi Construction Engineering Co., Ltd. (first bid) and Fujian Nan’an first Construction Co., Ltd. (second bid). It is expected to enter the site recently. The construction period is 5 months and it is planned to be completed before the National Day. In order to ensure smooth road traffic and finish on schedule, the construction section will adopt the method of “half closed main Lane and half passageway” in stages. Extended Reading Cold recycling technology uses large-scale cold recycling equipment to recover and crush the surface layer and base layer of the original dilapidated pavement in situ, mix a certain proportion of cement, and then mix on site, paving, rolling and forming, and reforming the structural layer with certain bearing capacity.
