1In July, 1979, the first "Lufeng Building Sixth Construction Team" set foot on the land of Shenzhen and undertook the task of opening Shennan Avenue, which was the first in the history of Shenzhen's entrepreneurship. There is no road on the construction site, there is no car transportation, and thousands of earth and stone are taken away by carts. "It's time to spread asphalt, but where is the oiler?" Ye Jianguo, the old captain, said, "Our sixth team welded an earthen funnel with iron sheet, weighing 20 kilograms, so that two healthy people could operate straight with their arms. One day, an oiler's rubber shoes couldn't come off. The original asphalt melted the rubber overshoes and stuck the pants ... "
1980, the first section of Shennan Avenue from Caiwuwei to Shangbu Industrial Zone was completed, with a total length of only 2. 1 km and a width of 7 meters, which was only enough for two cars to go back and forth in parallel, but at that time, this road was already the longest road in the special zone.
At 198 1, all we saw on Shennan Avenue were low-rise tile houses, overgrown with weeds and hardened land ... At that time, Shennan Avenue was not called a road, but a dirt road, which was the only way to go to work at the airport.
From 1982 to 1984, the first expansion project was completed, and Shennan Road was widened to 50 meters. 1985 The Shanghai Hotel, which was completed and opened for business, has become the coordinate of the urban and suburban areas, and the boundary pillar of the present and future. 1987 Before the Spring Festival, a 6.8-kilometer-long Shennan Avenue supported by a viaduct in Shenzhen was proudly called "Shili Long Street" by Shenzhen people.
After Shennan Avenue 1984 was officially opened to traffic, it was simply paved with grass and afforested. In May, Shenzhen decided to expand Shennan Avenue from Shanghai Hotel to Nantou Joint Inspection Station, with a length of18.8km, and turn Nantou ancient city with a history of 1600 years into a newly-built Shenzhen Science Park, Shenzhen University and Shenzhen University. 1992 After Deng Xiaoping's talk in South China, Shenzhen's economic development accelerated. Shanghai Hotel to Nantou Ancient City 18.8km Shennan Avenue opened. Two years and two months later, Shennan Avenue with a total length of 25.6km runs through the whole line, with a width of 135m and a maximum width of 350m in the central area. Intersecting with 48 municipal roads in the north-south direction, Shenzhen has since embarked on the fast lane of "leaping development". When the greening department officially took over the greening work of Shennan Avenue on 1996, Futian Road to OCT was still overgrown with weeds. Subsequently, the greening department first started the overall transformation of Shennan Avenue and adjusted the flower beds in the middle of the road. 1By the end of 1996, canna was planted in the middle zone. During the period of 1997, when Hong Kong returned to China, the Shenzhen Municipal Government decided to sort out the entire Shennan Avenue, widening the original six lanes to eight lanes from Shanghai Hotel to the west, and a beautiful avenue was fully displayed in front of Shenzhen people. 1997 shrubs, trees and other plants are added on both sides of the road 100. From the early "loess cover" greening to the present landscape design, the level of background forest has been increased.
Shennan Avenue 1999, because of the poor soil quality in the past, the trees didn't grow very long. As a result, the environmental sanitation department of Shenzhen began to improve the green space of the whole road, and expanded and fertilized each pit, which made the soil quality change greatly. In order to increase pedestrians' visual sense of Shennan Avenue, kapok trees are planted at regular intervals. When the kapok tree blooms, it can be said that this road is the most beautiful time. The reconstruction project of Shennan Avenue began with the proposal of Shenzhen People's Congress. In view of the fact that Shenzhen citizens' demands for safety and traffic accidents are increasing day by day, in 2006, Shenzhen Municipal People's Congress deputies suggested that Shennan Avenue be transformed into a "safe avenue". Li Hongzhong, secretary of Shenzhen Municipal Party Committee, and Xu Zongheng, mayor, respectively instructed relevant departments to put people first, care for life, and implement the goal of building a harmonious and livable Shenzhen. On September 28th, 2006, the reconstruction project of Shennan Avenue started. It contains many advanced ideas: this is a "high-tech road", and the paved stone matrix asphalt (SMA) is a dense coarse aggregate with high technology content. It's imported from Singapore, and it won't need to be repaired for at least 15 years.
This is an "environment-friendly road", with SMA modified asphalt covering the road surface, the dust absorption capacity is enhanced and the driving noise is reduced by 2 decibels. Adding bicycle riding belts on some sections of Shennan Avenue aims to encourage citizens to use more pollution-free bicycles and use fewer motor vehicles as much as possible, which is a "positive and moderate environmental protection strategy". Adding a number of bus stops along the road and setting up bus-only turning lanes is to make way for buses and keep pace with Europe, America and Japan, which are at the forefront of the global green revolution. Shennan Avenue is a "efficiency-enhancing road". The high-tech pavement not only ensures the service life of the road, but also ensures the service life of the car. For buses and private cars, the use efficiency is improved and energy consumption is reduced. "Benefiting Shenzhen" is within reach.
Shennan Avenue is a "people-oriented road". When Shennan Avenue was expanded more than 65,438+00 years ago, it was designed as a "through road" to increase speed. This transformation is "radical", which fully embodies the priority of pedestrians on main roads, not motor vehicles. Increase zebra crossing and signal light facilities, reduce the speed when crossing the road and enhance people's safety.
In 2006, Shennan Avenue, known as "Shenzhen No.1 Road", reached the junction of Dongguan at the end of the year, connected with Bao 'an Avenue under construction, and formed the most important main road across Shenzhen from east to west and directly to Dongguan. After the two roads are connected, the total length will reach more than 60 kilometers, forming a hundred-mile-long urban landscape road, which will surpass the "first street in China"-Beijing Chang 'an Street and become the longest municipal avenue in China. After Baoan Avenue is connected with Shennan Avenue, it may be renamed Shennan West Road, or "Bailichang Street" will be collectively called "Shenzhen Avenue". Along the way, it will be planned as a commercial and residential area. This beautiful avenue, which runs through the east and west of Shenzhen and goes straight to Dongguan, closely connects the two richest cities in the east. It has long been a hot wealth avenue and a "golden" channel in the eyes of Shenzhen citizens and investors.
At the end of 20 14, the traffic improvement project will be implemented from Mei Road to Hongling Road. Except that the construction of Xiangmihu Interchange needs to be completed in 20 17, the rest of the projects are expected to be completed within one month. Specific measures include: aiming at Shennan Avenue/Xiangmei intersection, combining with the construction of Chegongmiao hub of subway, transforming Shennan Xiangmihu Interchange, increasing the function of turning from west to north, and diverting the traffic pressure from west to north and left at Shennan Avenue/Xiangmei intersection. At the same time, it is planned to optimize the U-turn traffic organization of Xiangmihu Resort, add U-turn lanes in combination with pedestrian crossing, and prohibit U-turn at the entrance of Shennan Avenue/Xiangmeixi Road.
