On June 26, in the scorching summer, the Baotong Bridge of the Pinglu Canal North Ring Road cross-river bridge officially ushered in the day of trial operation. At this moment, it marks that all six Baotong bridges in the Qinzhou City section of the Pinglu Canal have been completed and opened to traffic, injecting new vitality into the city's transportation development.
The construction of municipal bridges in the Qinzhou section of the Pinglu Canal is an important part of the construction of urban infrastructure. The completion of the six Baotong Bridges is not only a strong supplement to the existing bridges, but also a solid guarantee for the safety of citizens' daily travel. From the Baotong Bridge of the Qinjiang Bridge in Shajing to the Baotong Bridge of the North Ring Road Cross-River Bridge, each bridge carries the dream of urban development and the hope of citizens to travel.
The construction of these six Baotong bridges fully reflects the exquisite and efficient modern bridge technology. They are designed according to the city-A load class, with a design safety level of 1 and a weight limit of 55 tons, which ensures the bearing capacity and safety of the bridge. At the same time, the superstructure adopts a steel plate composite beam structure, the bridge deck is made of C50 high-performance reinforced concrete, the pavement structure is made of low-noise asphalt concrete, and the guardrail is made of solid and beautiful steel guardrail, and the anti-collision level reaches SB level, which greatly improves the safety and comfort of passing vehicles.
As one of them, the Baotong Bridge, a cross-river bridge on the North Ring Road, has attracted attention for its unique design and superior traffic capacity. It is located 50 meters upstream of the old bridge, with a total length of 178 meters and a width of 23.5 meters, the main bridge is made of 40 meters of simply supported steel plate composite beams, and the approach bridge is made of 12 meters of simply supported continuous steel plate composite beams. The bridge deck is equipped with two-way 4 lanes and two non-motorized lanes, which meet different traffic needs and make the travel of citizens more convenient.
Driving into the newly built Baotong Bridge, the citizens have felt the comfort and convenience of travel. Mr. Teng said: "The road surface is smooth and open, and the non-motorized lanes are separated, so it is good for vehicles to pass smoothly. "In particular, the Baotong Bridge of the Nanzhu Street Cross-River Bridge is wider than the old bridge, with two-way two-lane traffic, and the driving experience is better.
In order to ensure the smooth operation of the Baotong Bridge, Qinzhou City has carried out detailed design for bridge traffic organization, traffic video surveillance project, traffic emergency plan, supporting road construction and other projects. At the same time, two "canal traffic police service stations" are set up at both ends of each Baotong Bridge to deal with traffic congestion problems in a timely manner. In addition, the "Six Modernizations and Two Platforms" digital empowerment work plan was also proposed, which comprehensively monitored and managed traffic through intelligent means, and made every effort to create a high-quality travel experience for citizens.
The trial operation of the Baotong Bridge of the Pinglu Canal has not only brought real convenience to the citizens of Qinzhou, but also injected new impetus into the city's transportation development. In the future, with the completion of more bridges and the improvement of intelligent traffic management systems, Qinzhou's transportation network will be more perfect, and citizens' travel will be more convenient, safe and comfortable.
