First elevated expressway to be built in downtown Cixi

Hu Hang from Bainian Electric Company has lost count of her tours to the Yuyao exit of Hangzhou-Ningbo Freeway to receive clients from other cities, when she came to the exit again on the morning of May 26. But this time she was happy as it may be the last time. With the building of the first elevated expressway in downtown Cixi County, the freeway and the urban area of Cixi County will be directly connected, and "our clients will have no difficulty find the way to our county."

The expressway is planned from Shengshan Town of Cixi to the Lubu exit of the freeway, and with the total length of 32.8 kilometers and a total investment of 3.45 billion yuan, it is estimated to be completed in two and a half years. When the expressway is completed, it will only take 8 minutes to go from the Citizen Square to Shenyang-Haikou Freeway, and 20 minutes to Hangzhou-Ningbo Freeway.

It has long been a big problem for citizens in Cixi County to have access to the freeway. It can been clearly seen from the comprehensive traffic planning map that the urban area of Cixi County is surrounded by the freeways, but it is inconvenient for citizens to go on any of the freeways.
