Rural roads in Jiangsu drive coordinated development (economic focus)

Core reading

Build rural roads according to local conditions to effectively protect the original landform; Connect markets, enterprises and village groups to help rural industry development; Build a trans provincial ring road around Taihu Lake and promote the further integration of culture and tourism... In recent years, Jiangsu has continued to improve the construction of the "four good rural roads" to promote rural development into the fast lane.

The sun sprinkles mottled light and shadow from the cracks in the trees, the birds sing in bursts from the green trees, and the red, yellow and blue lines extend to the distance. The salubrious riders and tourists who clock in and take photos become a bright color between the roads.

This recognizable tricolor highway is the No. 1 highway in Liyang City, Jiangsu Province, and also the "four good rural roads" in Jiangsu Province. The total length of the road is 365 kilometers, all of which are asphalt pavements with a width of 6 meters or more. 312 natural villages and more than 220 rural tourism spots are connected internally, and 7 counties and cities are connected externally, forming a road grid bureau of "big ring and small ring".

In recent years, on the basis of construction, management, maintenance and transportation, Jiangsu has actively explored the new model of "rural roads+", promoted the expansion of rural public routes from "traffic lines" to "scenic lines", and upgraded from "getting on the road" to "getting rich". Along both sides of the road, ecology, industry and culture are mutually supported and developed in coordination.

"Rural roads+ecology"

Comply with natural texture

Protect the original landform

Liyang No. 1 Highway leads to the entrance of residents' homes. Along the road, the ground is dotted with carnations, purple leaf flowers, and beautiful evening primrose, which are both eye-catching and soft. "The three colors of the road have been made through hundreds of color mixing tests, which are harmonious with the color of the natural environment and make an interesting contrast," said Yang Qing, deputy director of the Agricultural Road Office of Liyang Transportation Bureau.

Conforming to nature, adjusting measures to local conditions, paying attention to ecology and integrating into mountains and rivers are important principles for building Liyang No. 1 Highway. "During the construction, we saw a mountain detour and built a bridge when encountering water." Yang Qing introduced that the height difference of some road sections was nearly 10 meters. During the construction, we considered to make the road more flat, but ultimately chose to adapt to the natural texture of ups and downs, and directly pave water stability and asphalt on the gravel road.

It's not just Liyang No. 1 Highway. In early summer, in Xinghua City, Taizhou, rape flowers in the hinterland of Lixia River formed rapeseed, which will soon usher in the harvest period. Qianduo Meilu organically "grows" in crisscross rivers, lakes and fields.

The expressway is a black asphalt road, the pedestrian path is a blue ceramic sand road, there is a section of glittering fluorescent road every 500 meters, and there are red and yellow handrails on the side of the road... As a part of Qianduomei Road, Chang'an North Road from south to north is like flowing ribbons, naturally inlaid in the golden yellow mounds.

Qianduomei Road was completed in September 2019, with a total length of 66km. It is composed of Yingwu South Road, Caihua Avenue, Chang'an North Road and other ring roads, connecting the park, scenic spot and urban area.

Yu Xiang, director of Xinghua Highway Development Center, said that Xinghua City is located in the "Guodiwa" section of Lixia River. In order to save land resources, soil should be taken from the dredged river channel to fill the road during road construction. However, due to the soft foundation, the preloading scheme of stacking load is adopted in the construction, and the wet jet grouting pile composite foundation is used to prevent road settlement. In addition, there are nearly 100 bridges of large and small sizes built on the agricultural road, which "fly across" from the top of the mound fields, and also effectively protect the original landform.

Li Meng, deputy director of the Highway Development Center of Jiangsu Provincial Department of Transport, said that the mileage of rural roads across the province reached 140000 kilometers, of which 19.4% were roads of Class II or above, realizing the full coverage of two lane roads and Class IV roads in administrative villages, the basic full coverage of planned village level roads, and the full accessibility of hardened roads in natural villages. It is worth mentioning that in the process of upgrading the "four good rural roads", Jiangsu has always achieved coordinated development with ecology, integrated with mountains, rivers, forests, fields and lakes, and naturally inlaid and interwoven "growth" with the surrounding environment.

"Rural roads+characteristic industries"

Integrating decentralized resources

Drive industrial upgrading

At the beginning of summer, rose in Yantou Village, Xinhe Town, Shuyang County, Suqian City ushered in the sales season. Driving along the spacious Yuji Road, you can see a sea of red and pink flowers on both sides. Businessmen from Tianjin, Shandong and other places went into the 10 mu rose greenhouses contracted by Zhu Yi, a major planter, and carefully selected them.

"Xinhe Town is located at the corner of Shuyang County. In the past, there was only a 7-meter wide cement road, which made it difficult for merchants to get in and goods to get out. Due to poor sales, there was no unified industrial planning in the town, and the villagers had to plant some large flowers and trees." Zhu Yi revealed that in 2016, this agricultural road was greatly widened after reconstruction, and Yuji Road and East West Outer Ring Road were newly built, The scattered resources have been integrated, and the rose industry has gradually become the characteristic industry of the town. Last year, he sold more than 30000 roses with a net profit of more than 500000 yuan.

Qiao Desu, secretary of the Party Committee of Xinhe Town, said that there are nine "four good rural roads" in the town, totaling 28.343 kilometers. More than 10 flower and tree distribution markets have been built along the road, extending the characteristic industrial chain, enriching trade varieties, and opening the "buy the country, sell the country" mode.

Smooth roads and convenient logistics also increase the competitiveness of e-commerce. Up to now, Xinhe Town has more than ten thousand online stores with an online transaction output value of 3 billion yuan, attracting more and more young people to return home and start businesses.

At 4 p.m., the North Gate Freight Yard of the Logistics Park of China Dieshiqiao International Home Textile City, located in Sanxing Town, Haimen District, Nantong City, ushered in the busiest time of the day - there was a long queue of trucks coming from Dadao Road and other directions, and the trucks in the loading area were busy but not disorderly loading. According to statistics, the daily average number of large trucks in and out of the park is more than 100 vehicles, and the total amount of goods exceeds 22000 packages.

"The development of home textile characteristic industry cannot be separated from the support and guarantee of rural roads." Yin Liang, Secretary of the Party Committee of Sanxing Town, introduced that Dadao Road, about 6 kilometers long, is an important rural road running through the markets of Phase I, II and III of Dieshiqiao Home Textile City. In the early years, it was only a cement road about 15 meters wide. After three renovations in the past 10 years, it was transformed into a 21 meter wide asphalt road. In 2020, Dadao Road will extend 310 meters to the west to open the "dead end road" with Chuanjiang Town, facilitating the communication between the two towns. Driven by this, Dieshiqiao Home Textile City ushers in a vigorous development. At present, there are more than 10000 stores operating more than 1000 kinds of home textile products.

"The rural roads extending in all directions connect the market, enterprises and village groups, and promote rural development into the fast lane." Huang Hui, director of the Transportation Bureau of Haimen District, said that at present, there are nearly 7000 enterprises in the home textile industry chain of Sanxing Town, and the annual productivity of the cluster exceeds 200 billion yuan, driving more than 500000 people to work.

"Rural roads+cultural tourism integration"

Construction of trans provincial loop line

Create sports events

"Bang!" With the sound of the starting gun, the 2024 Suzhou East Taihu Half Marathon officially started at 8:00 a.m. The 21.0975 km route starts from the central business district of the city and passes through cultural and tourism landmarks on the Taihu Lake Ring Road, such as Suzhou Bay Sports Park and East Taihu Lake Causeway. "At that time, there were many flowers along the Taihu Lake. For me, the race schedule was a journey, and the race was a vacation." Shen Jingjing, a citizen of Wujiang District, refreshed her personal best this time.

"This route was carefully selected by the organizing committee. On the one hand, the road is very smooth and smooth, which is conducive to the players' play. On the other hand, this route has also linked up the most iconic" online red card punching ground ". Fei Fei, director of the Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau of East Taihu Lake Ecological Tourism Resort in Wujiang, said that throughout the marathon, hotel occupancy in Wujiang District increased by 30% The consumption in the surrounding business districts increased by 50%, driving the development of cultural and tourism economy in the whole district. In Wujiang, along the Taihu Lake Ring Road, colorful cultural and tourism activities such as fireworks shows, art exhibitions and camping seasons are held every year, attracting a large number of tourists to experience.

Pan Xiaoxia, head of the Agricultural Management Section of Suzhou Highway Center, said that with the improvement of rural roads in various places, from 2019, two provinces and four cities around Taihu Lake have joined hands to open up the breakpoint blocking points on the road around Taihu Lake. Starting from Wangting Town, Xiangcheng District, Suzhou City, the Taihu Lake Ring Highway successively passes through the High tech Zone, Wuzhong District, Wujiang District, enters Nanxun District, Wuxing District, Changxing County, Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province, and then turns back to Yixing City, Wujin District, Changzhou City, and Binhu District, Wuxi City, Jiangsu Province, forming a 416.2 km ring road.

In December 2020, Suzhou, Wuxi, Changzhou and Huzhou in Jiangsu Province and four cities in Zhejiang Province jointly signed the Framework Agreement on the Construction of the National "Four Good Rural Roads" Demonstration Road of Taihu Lake Integration, which aims to create the "most beautiful rural road" of Taihu Lake integration from the perspective of people's livelihood, culture, tourism, etc. by breaking the regional boundaries and administrative barriers, Cultural and tourism integration is one of the important contents.

The road around Taihu Lake connects 13 famous scenic spots, 197 natural landscapes, 849 cultural landscapes and 5 ancient villages. On this loop line, the four cities have opened 33 adjacent bus lines, of which 5 are trans provincial lines connecting Wujiang and Huzhou, with 211 daily trips and 2080 daily average passenger flows. "By holding a series of sports and cultural events together along the road, the Taihu Lake Highway has increasingly brought into play the value of cultural and tourism integration," said Pan Xiaoxia.
