When Coaster drove along the provincial road into the suburbs of Fengzhou City, everyone in the car, including Du Chongshan, was shocked.

You can see the prototype of the huge butterfly overpass at the intersection with Provincial Highway 315 from a distance. Although it must be early to complete the overpass, it is not even a year or two that the overpass can't come out, but it still shocked Du Chongshan and his group.

Most of the people on the bus haven't come to Fengzhou for a while, but at most they haven't come to Fengzhou for a year. Unexpectedly, Fengzhou would suddenly have such a huge overpass on the land that was just a farmland a year ago. Moreover, looking at the stance of the overpass, the entire Fengzhou urban area basically extends to the entire west bank of Fengjiang, and here is two or three kilometers away from the provincial highway 315 Fengjiang Highway Bridge. This means that the west of Fengjiang, which had never been developed, will now become Fengzhou urban area, and this overpass will also become a new coordinate of Fengzhou urban area on the west bank of Fengjiang.

Zhou Jianhua, director of the Provincial Construction Committee, couldn't help but smack his lips, "Governor Du, Fengzhou has a big deal. This is probably the first overpass in Fengzhou, and it is also the sixth prefecture-level city in the province with overpasses. According to my original estimate, it will take at least three or four years to have an overpass in Fengzhou. I didn't expect that Zhang Tianhao and Lu Weimin were so courageous. I just don't know if Fengzhou's finances can be supported."

Originally, there were only a few deputy positions from relevant departments who came to Fengzhou to attend the construction ceremony, but Du Chongshan was about to attend, and the specifications were immediately different. First, a deputy secretary-general of the provincial government changed from the first to the second, and then the Provincial Development and Planning Commission, the Provincial Economic Commission, the Provincial Department of Transportation, the Provincial Construction Committee, and the Provincial Department of Land and Resources quickly became the top leader or executive deputy director (department director).

These people have few opportunities to come to Fengzhou. For example, Zhou Jianhua, director of the Provincial Construction Committee, couldn't help but sigh, has been to Fengzhou for at least one or two years, so he was shocked.

Du Chongshan was also shocked. He remembered that the last time he came to Fengzhou was in March last year, which means that in less than ten months, there was a huge change in Fengzhou. The overpass was only one aspect and was still under construction. The avenue leading to both ends of the overpass has been taken shape and is still vaguely visible.

A Passat police car that came to drive the lane in front flashed with police lights and guided Costa slowly into a secondary road next to it. This is a temporary passage before the overpass was built. From here, you can bypass the overpass and enter the western ring under construction in Fengzhou.

"Lao Zhou, is this the Hushan Overpass that meets the West First Ring Road of Fengzhou and Provincial Highway 315?" Du Chongshan asked, and he had a little impression that the Hushan Overpass was the first overpass proposed by Fengzhou. It also caused controversy in Fengzhou at that time, and the province also knew about it.

"It should be. Governor Du, it's the first time I have seen it. I heard from the committee that Fengzhou's urban construction is very large and the progress is quite fast." Zhou Jianhua turned his head slightly and threw the topic to Liang Yu, director of the Department of Land and Resources diagonally opposite: "Lao Liang, it turns out that there are farmland and barren hills west of Fengjiang. How long has it been? It's a few kilometers away from Fengjiang. Fengzhou plans to use the Hushan Overpass as a new starting point and a new coordinate in Fengzhou's urban area?"

"The land for Fengzhou's urban master planning has been out long ago, and the provincial government executive meeting has also studied it. The newly built Shuangmiao District and Fulong District are both west of Fengjiang, and the new urban area is definitely larger than that of the old urban area. This is normal, but Fengzhou City has set up the landmark so far at once, and the Fengzhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government are very ambitious." Liang Yu's words cannot hear the meaning of praise and criticism.

Liang Yu had some doubts about the area of ​​Fengzhou city. In his opinion, it is quite risky to make urban planning in an underdeveloped area so large. Of course, this can also be understood as the current municipal party committee and government are forward-looking, but the idea proposed by Fengzhou City was approved by Shao Jingchuan and Rong Daosheng. No one was willing to go against the opinions of the main leaders on this issue. In addition, Fengzhou City has strong public relations and is very active in the Provincial Construction Committee and the Department. Everyone expressed their support for Fengzhou's abolishment of land and city construction, promoting the urbanization process, and promoting the economic development of Fengzhou.

More importantly, Governor Ma, who is in charge, has strong support and greeted the department specifically, demanding full support for the development of cities in backward areas like Fengzhou. Therefore, the overall planning plan for this city was finally approved, and the Department of Land and Resources could only plan urban land based on the overall planning plan for this city.

But today when he saw the urban structure of Fengzhou, Liang Yu was probably the biggest shock. He didn't expect that Fengzhou would dare to expand the scope of the first ring road so wide. According to his understanding, within the first ring road, it is basically the central area of ​​a city's main urban area. He knew the situation west of Fengjiang. He used to be a few times when he was deputy director and was familiar with the situation in Fengzhou's urban area. There were basically no decent streets west of Fengjiang, and even said that it was a little bit reluctant to say that it was a suburb. Now the Fengzhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government have taken such a big step at once. It is not afraid of being unable to bear it when crossing Fengjiang so far.

However, this overpass is enough to prove the ambition of the Fengzhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government. This posture is obviously to make every effort to build the area west of Fengjiang. However, Liang Yu remembers that the development of the area east of Fengjiang and north of Dongfeng River is not perfect, and that area still has great development potential. In terms of infrastructure conditions, it is much stronger than that west of Fengjiang. Why did the Fengzhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government suddenly turn? Even though Shuangmiao and Fulong are both west of Fengjiang, the most basic rules should be followed in urban development. Otherwise, how can Fengzhou's financial resources be able to support it?

In fact, it has experienced some twists and turns just on the construction of this butterfly overpass. The initial plan was not to build such a large overpass. The cost of a large overpass is also a huge burden for Fengzhou. However, after the plan was made, everyone, including Song Dacheng and Lu Teng, realized that this intersection might become a huge traffic bottleneck once the first ring road is completed and opened to traffic.

At present, provincial highway 315 not only leads to Changzhong and Changxi areas, but also the planned Luofeng Expressway also connects to the first ring road. This means that in the future, vehicles in the entire urban area and even east of Fengzhou will either pass through the urban area or pass through the first ring road. In short, most of them will pass through this throat road and go west to enter Provincial Highway 315 or Luofeng Expressway. So if you don’t consider planning in advance now, you may have to face an embarrassing situation of congestion once you have completed it.

However, the cost of a large overpass is huge. A rough estimate of the cost of this overpass is more than 1.2 billion yuan, which made the Fengzhou Municipal Government take a breath. The cost of an overpass is indeed a bit unacceptable to the current Fengzhou Municipal Government. However, considering the future development of Fengzhou, Lu Weimin, Song Dacheng, Lu Teng, Meilin, etc. still feel that they should make arrangements in advance. Even if they tighten their belts, they cannot wait until two or three years to regret it.

The overpass plan also caused a lot of controversy in the prefectural committee at that time. In the end, Zhang Tianhao decided to support the plan, which allowed the overpass to finally start construction.

"It's indeed rare, but the location of this overpass was chosen very well. As far as I know, Fengzhou did not plan to build an overpass at the beginning, but it was a concern that the investment was too large and the cost was too high. However, in the end, the Fengzhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government still felt that if the overpass was not established, the price might have to be paid in the future. The plan was changed and the design was redesigned. But I didn't expect that Fengzhou was moving so quickly. In just a few months, the prototype of the overpass had emerged. It seemed that their first ring road was faster." The person who spoke to Qin Guojian, deputy director of the Provincial Department of Transportation.

"According to the planning of the Fengzhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, Fengcheng, Shuangmiao and Fulong will be the development direction of their Fengzhou main urban area, but the development positioning is slightly different. Shuangmiao and Fulong are to drive urbanization with industrialization and focus on the development of industrial economy, while Fengcheng is based on the original urban pattern, promote urbanization construction, build a core business district of finance, commerce and service industries, and at the same time create an ecologically livable city in the area north of the Dongfeng River." Seeing everyone's eyes looking over, Li Daixi, deputy secretary-general of the Provincial Government, hurriedly said: "This is what I accidentally saw in the Fengzhou Daily. The newspaper on the day Fengzhou was abolished and the city was very detailed, and I had a little impression."

There was another discussion in the car. Du Chongshan did not interrupt, but his eyes fell outside the window. Although the road was a bit broken and bumpy, you can see that the right path there was already a beginning of scale, which was probably the first ring road in Fengzhou City.

Costa quickly bypassed the overpass and drove onto the cement road that had been poured, but it can be seen that there were still a lot of construction debris and construction waste scattered on the road. The non-motorized vehicle lanes were still blank and the green belt was also messy. However, in Du Chongshan's view, with the Fengzhou city planning being released and the construction of the First Ring Road has begun to take shape and then the current initial development, Fengzhou's construction intensity and speed can be described as rocket speed.

He remembered very clearly that several months ago, when the Fengzhou city master plan was submitted for review, it was discussed several times. Because the urban plan was too large, it caused some controversy, but it was finally passed. How long has it been? The main road of the first ring road had already taken shape. Even though it was still early to officially open to traffic, Costa could actually run for 60 miles under the guidance of the Passat police car in front. This made Du Chongshan sigh, and his impression of the Fengzhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government had a considerable improvement.
