With the rapid development of highways in my country, most areas of the country have been covered by roads, and transportation in major regions has been very developed. Under such circumstances, many bridges have been built in some places with relatively large water areas, which has also made great contributions to the improvement of my country's expressways.
At the same time, the construction of connected highways in my country has been completed over the years, which has also allowed everyone to see the great promotion this has brought to the regional economy. At present, my country is about to open to traffic.
This bridge is called Kinmen Bridge. According to relevant news reports, on October 26 this year, Kinmen Bridge was announced to be opened for traffic inspection, and it was finally scheduled to be officially opened on October 30.
This also means that at the end of October, we welcomed the opening of this new bridge. The Kinmen Bridge is about to be opened. It is of great significance to be that it is actually the first cross-sea bridge in Taiwan, . It has a total length of 5.4 kilometers and a speed limit of 60 kilometers per hour.
It connects to the section between Kinmen Island and Lieyu Township . Previously, the two places were reached by sea. After this bridge is opened, you can drive directly between the two places, and it only takes 5 minutes to reach it one way, which greatly improves driving efficiency.
In fact, the length of this bridge in Taiwan is not very long. Although it is not large compared to some bridges, it still encounters certain difficulties during the construction process. The location of this project is located in Kinmen Island. The shape of the entire island is similar to a butterfly from a high altitude. The two ends are wide and the middle is narrow. The entire island resource is 20 kilometers long. The highest altitude is 253 meters. The island has a beautiful scenery.
In its original transportation facilities, it actually has an Kinmen Airport , but in land transportation, due to its own environment, the construction of this bridge provides more convenient conditions for its land transportation.
The island in it is located in the southwest of Kinmen Island . It is also called Xiao Kinmen . The terrain of this island is mainly hilly, and 70% of the area of this island is this terrain. The Kinmen Bridge opened this time is built between the two islands Kinmen and Xiao Kinmen.
In fact, the construction of this cross-sea bridge is still very technically challenging. Due to the lack of technical experience, it has been carried out for a long time during the entire construction process.
In order to make the quality of this bridge construction meet the standards, very strict standards were formulated in the bridge construction project, and finally the completion of this bridge construction can be said to be hard-won.
It started construction in 2011. It was originally planned to be completed in 2016, but it experienced many twists and turns in the middle and even re-tendered. In the past ten years from 2012 to the present, it changed three manufacturers and finally started the construction. The total amount spent is more than 9.6 billion NT$4.
But such efforts are worth it, because the construction of this bridge has opened the two places to traffic, especially in this area, which has a great driving effect. In terms of travel, a convenient and fast and safe land transportation channel has been added to this, so that there is no need to restrict traffic between the two places as before, under the influence of the climate.
At the same time, in terms of the quality of life of residents, the opening of this bridge can also provide more water and electricity communications, which greatly improves the living standards of local residents.
In fact, there is another part of the Kinmen Bridge that connects Kinmen to Xiamen . This section has not started construction for some reasons, but there is an exact construction plan. Therefore, the completion of the construction of the Kinmen Bridge this time has also laid a better foundation for the construction of the Jinxiamen section bridge.The construction of these two sections of
is of great significance to Kinmen, because the original water flow on Jingmen Island did not meet the requirements for residents to use, so this has great restrictions on the local economy and also led to their serious lack of water. Xiamen has supplied water to Kinmen since 2015, which ensures that Kinmen can have sufficient water sources. Therefore, for Kinmen, the connection with Xiao Kinmen and Xiamen will bring more favorable conditions for it.
Moreover, the opening of the Kinmen Bridge not only provides greater protection for the lives of Kinmen people, but also enables their economy to develop faster. At the same time, this is a great improvement for its originally inconvenient land transportation environment. After the bridge is built, everyone can drive directly to this place, which can further promote the development of local tourism and promote exchanges between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait.
