Abstract:In order to fully play the traffic functions of radial expressway, it is very necessary to carry out the preliminary study on the roadways, nodes and related construction conditions of radial expressway channel to city. Taking the study on the scheme of Chongqing - Hunan Double-line Expressway Channel to city as an example, on the basis of the project functional orientation and the traffic demand prediction and analysis, the conception and design of overall scheme are expounded. The lane number, roadway type, plane and vertical designs, and node type of radial expressway channel to city are compared, analyzed and demonstrated. The viaduct main and auxiliary road scheme + ground main and auxiliary road scheme are analyzed and compared. Scheme I has been selected. The present situations, functional orientations and types of two interchanges involved to this project are analyzed and expounded. Finally, the conclusion shows that with the urban construction and development, the construction conditions of urban area are getting more complicated. The good preliminary study of radial expressway channel to city can ensure the construction conditions and implementablity of radial expressway channel to city in the later period.
