On December 14, the east section of Ningbo around-city freeway was completed and passed acceptance check. It means that the whole project has been completed and it will be open to traffic from the later part of this month.

 

The 44-kilometer-long east section of Ningbo around-city freeway starts from the north interchange of Jiangshan of the Ningbo-Taizhou-Wenzhou Freeway, passes Yunlong, Dongqian Lake, Wuxiang, Haosifang, Linjiang, Shahe and Jiulong Lake, and then stops at Yanjia Bridge to meet the starting point of the west section of the around-city freeway.

 

The east section directly connects the Ningbo-Taizhou-Wenzhou Freeway, Xiangshan Port Bridge and its connecting line, Chuanshan Traffic-dispersing Freeway and Zhoushan Land-island Freeway, and functions as the core of the freeway network of the south bank of Hangzhou Bay.

After its completion and opening, the east section will connect with the west section to form the "freeway ring", which will be the core and pivot of the road traffic system in Ningbo and the second largest traffic hub in Zhejiang Province. The freeway plays an important role in constructing the modern comprehensive traffic system, promoting the urban space development, improving the urban space structure, relieving the urban traffic pressure, and promoting the integration and modernization of the economy in Yangtze River Delta
