Preface
On June 30, 2024, the 50 billion Shenzhen-Zhongshan Corridor was finally opened, but only one hour after it was opened to traffic, this super project, known as "the world's best", fell into unprecedented congestion.
Challenges at the beginning of the opening
The opening of the Shenzhong Channel was originally pinned on high hopes, but the reality gave everyone a blow to the head, the opening day of June 30 at 3:30 p.m., the Shenzhong Channel was officially opened, but only an hour later, this cost 50 billion, known as the "world's most" super project fell into serious congestion, the cruelty of reality far exceeded people's expectations.
However, in fact, this congestion was not an accident, but the result of a combination of factors, at first a large number of citizens flocked to the new passage with great curiosity and excitement, eager to experience the new cross-sea passage, but their enthusiasm became the direct cause of the congestion, 16 wide lanes were quickly filled with traffic, and vehicles could hardly move an inch.
In addition, the supporting facilities around the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Corridor have not yet been fully completed, especially the connecting lines and toll booths are still under construction, resulting in the inability of vehicles to evacuate quickly, these unfinished works are like undismantled roadblocks, making the already busy traffic even worse, although the government has plans to solve the congestion problem through high-tech means, but it is clear that the initial measures are not enough to cope with the traffic pressure of this scale.
Faced with such a situation, many people can't help but question, is this expensive passage really worth the money? You know, this passage is not only known as "the world's best", but also has high hopes for improving regional transportation and promoting economic development. Reality seems to give a harsh answer: any great project will inevitably encounter problems in its early stages.
But the emergence of the problem does not mean the failure of the project itself, the construction of the Shenzhong channel is a complex system engineering, the initial congestion is just its growing troubles, the government and relevant departments have been actively looking for solutions, including through video surveillance, real-time traffic control platform and other high-tech means, to improve the efficiency of the channel, we have reason to believe that with the gradual implementation of these measures, the Shenzhong channel will show its true value.
Although the congestion on the first day of the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Corridor was disappointing, it was only a small episode in its growth, and through continuous improvement of supporting facilities and optimised traffic management, this super corridor will surely become the mainstay of regional transportation and inject new impetus into the development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
Technological innovation and construction difficulty
The construction of the Shenzhong Corridor lasted 7 years and cost 50 billion yuan, this series of numbers sounds shocking enough, but the technical challenges and innovations behind it are even more jaw-dropping, the Shenzhong Corridor is 24 kilometers long, including an undersea tunnel, two bridges and two artificial islands, this is a real super project, hailed as one of the world's most difficult cross-sea transportation projects, in order to achieve this feat, engineers are faced with countless technical difficulties, many times even to create new roads when there is no way out.
Engineers have independently developed a number of key technologies, including immersed tube prefabricated intelligent shipbuilding dock and ultra-large steel gondola, these technologies are the first in the world, filling the technical gap at home and abroad, for example, the submarine tunnel part of the world's first long-distance double eight-lane immersed tunnel, this scale and complexity are unprecedented, each immersed tube prefabrication, transportation, installation requires extremely high precision and technology, which is a huge challenge for the engineering team, but they have successfully overcome this problem with wisdom and perseverance.
And the two main bridges of the Shenzhong Passage have also created a number of world records, Lingdingyang Bridge and Zhongshan Bridge have a main span length of 1666 meters and 1300 meters respectively, which is currently the longest span of the steel box girder suspension bridge in the world, these bridges not only pursue beauty and practicality in design, but also achieve a number of breakthroughs in technology, providing valuable experience for similar projects in the future, it is these innovations and breakthroughs that make the Shenzhong Corridor a world-class project in the true sense.
In order to ensure the safety and stability of the project, the engineering team conducted a large number of simulation experiments and field tests, repeatedly demonstrated various schemes, and finally, they adopted a series of advanced windproof and earthquake-proof technologies to make the Shenzhong Channel still safe and smooth under extreme weather conditions. It also sets the benchmark for future projects.
The success of the project not only enhances China's technological status in the world, but also inspires more young engineers to devote themselves to the cause of technological innovation.
Regional economic and social benefits
The opening of the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Corridor is not only a technical feat, but also a major promotion of regional economic and social development, and most importantly, the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Corridor has greatly shortened the driving time between Shenzhen and Zhongshan, from the previous two hours to 30 minutes, this change has brought great convenience and efficiency to the daily life and economic activities of residents in both places, whether it is business travel or daily commuting, this passage has saved people a lot of time and improved the overall quality of life.
It is estimated that by 2025, the average annual toll income of the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Corridor will reach 3 billion yuan, and the investment can be recovered within 10 years, which not only demonstrates the feasibility and economic return of the project, but also provides confidence for the government and investors. More companies will choose to invest and set up branches in this area, which will lead to the prosperity of the local economy.
The integration process of the regional economy will also be greatly accelerated, the Shenzhen-Zhongshan corridor as an important channel connecting the east and west banks of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, not only improves the efficiency of traffic in the region, but also promotes the rapid flow of people, logistics and information flow, through such infrastructure construction, Shenzhen and Zhongshan The two cities will be more closely linked together to achieve complementary advantages and resource sharing, especially Zhongshan's manufacturing industry will benefit from Shenzhen's scientific and technological innovation and financial support, The economies of the two places will achieve a higher level of coordinated development.
The effect of this coordinated development is not limited to the economic field, but also extends to the social and cultural level, the opening of the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Corridor makes the residents of the two places have more opportunities to interact, weekend excursions will become more common, and the tourism industry will greatly benefit, Zhongshan with its rich natural landscape and history and culture has attracted many tourists, and Shenzhen, as a modern metropolis, will also attract more Zhongshan residents to come for sightseeing and shopping, this interaction not only promotes the development of tourism, It also enhanced cultural exchanges and mutual understanding between the residents of the two places.
The most important thing is that the opening of the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Corridor has injected new impetus into the overall development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, through which talents and technologies in the region can flow more freely and efficiently, promoting innovation and entrepreneurship in the region, especially in the fields of technology and manufacturing.
Future outlook and improvement measures
In the future, this channel will become a "golden channel" connecting the east and west banks of the Pearl River Estuary, not only breaking regional barriers, but also forming a "one-hour traffic circle" to promote the accelerated integration of people, logistics and information flow, which is undoubtedly a major benefit to the overall development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
Initially, in terms of infrastructure improvement, the supporting facilities around the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Corridor will be gradually put in place, and the government plans to further strengthen the connection of collection and distribution through the rational layout of transitional berths, main line stations and port collection and distribution systems, and weave the "last mile" in an all-round way, which will not only improve the overall traffic efficiency of the channel, but also provide more convenient conditions for logistics and transportation in the region.
In addition, the Shenzhen-Zhongshan channel will make full use of modern scientific and technological means, such as 5G, Beidou and other advanced technologies, to build an intelligent management and control platform, through big data real-time analysis of traffic flow changes, dynamic adjustment of signal timing, to ensure that vehicles can pass smoothly, the application of this intelligent transportation, not only to improve management efficiency, but also to effectively reduce congestion, improve the safety of the channel.
In the future, the two places will build a number of high-quality demonstration areas for the integration of industry and city, attract high-end industries and talents, and cultivate new growth poles for regional development, which can not only improve the economic level of the region, but also provide more employment opportunities and living convenience for residents of the two places.
Moreover, the opening of the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Corridor will also greatly promote the development of tourism in the region, and the residents of Shenzhen and Zhongshan can make it more convenient for them to take short trips and experience the natural landscape and cultural charm of the two places, the rich natural landscape and history and culture of Zhongshan, as well as the modern urban style of Shenzhen, will become an important factor in attracting tourists, and this two-way interaction will not only enhance the economic benefits of tourism, but also enhance the cultural exchanges and mutual understanding of the residents of the two places.
