Attention when traveling to and from Xinzhongheng! Provincial Highway 132.3k newly built open tunnel traffic control will be released on the hour for 10 minutes

The 132.3k section of Provincial Highway 21 of the New Zhongheng Highway is undergoing a new open tunnel project. During the construction period, due to the need for large-scale machinery and equipment to enter the site and concrete work, and the road width of this section is only 8 meters, in order to ensure the safety of passers-by, traffic control will be implemented from now until February 16 next year. Traffic will be released for 10 minutes on the hour, and single-lane and two-way controlled traffic will be maintained. The Highway Bureau of the Ministry of Transport calls on passers-by to cooperate.

The Xinyi Public Works Section of the Central District Maintenance Engineering Branch of the Highway Bureau further explained the control measures as follows. From Monday to Sunday, single-lane, two-way traffic control is adopted, and the traffic is released once every hour. The control starts at 9 am every day. The earliest release is from 9:00 to 9:10, and the latest release is from 4:00 to 4:10 pm. Only vehicles that have queued up at the control point before release can pass through, and then closed control is resumed. However, the control is suspended from 12 noon to 1 o'clock every day. In principle, construction control will not be implemented during consecutive holidays. The site will be directed by traffic control personnel and single-line and two-way flexible traffic will be adopted.

The Public Works Section reminds that if there are unexpected road conditions or special construction needs during the control period, motor control will be adopted and the vehicle will be released after the obstacles are removed. Drivers traveling through this section of the road are requested to pass as quickly as possible during the release period and do not stay to avoid danger or missing the release time.

The Highway Bureau specifically calls on the public to avoid entering mountainous areas unless necessary as roads in mountainous areas are prone to collapse and rockfall after typhoons, heavy rains or earthquakes. Before departure, you can use the Highway Bureau's "Smart Provincial Road Real-time Information Service Network", download the "Happiness Highway APP" on your mobile phone, or listen to the traffic radio to keep track of the latest road conditions.
