Xinhua News Agency, Tianjin, December 22 (Reporters Li Kun and Feng Weijian) The Tianjin-Shijiazhuang Expressway was opened to traffic on the 22nd. For the first time, a 3-hour “direct high-speed connection” was made between the two locations and another convenient sea passage was added to Xiongan New District.

An important role, “said Wang Kuichen, director of the Tianjin Transportation Commission.
Jinshi Expressway is an important project of national highway network planning. The parts that will be open to traffic this time are the Hebei section and the western section of Tianjin. The Hebei section is about 221 kilometers long and the total investment is about 32.37 billion yuan. Tianjin’s western section is approximately 12.5 kilometers long. About 3.16 billion yuan. Both sections are APP projects, which are built using six-lane two-way highway standards, with a design speed of 120 kilometers per hour.

He told reporters that in the past, transportation between the two places, whether taking the Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao Expressway and the Rongwu Expressway in the north, or the Huangshi Expressway in the south, was long-distance, slow and expensive.
“I do the math and take the Jinshi Highway. One of my trucks can save around 100 yuan in tolls, around 100 yuan in fuel costs, and more than 1 hour. If you run around every day, you can save one year. A lot of money and a lot of time! ”Xing Hailiang said.
