Abstract:With the acceleration of urbanization, there are a growing number of urban cross-river channels to be planned. In the urban built-up areas, the construction conditions of the cross-river channels have become more complex. Generally, the relationship among the cross-river channel, the traffic network, land development, subway construction, river navigation and other significant constraints should be treated with caution. There are the advantages and disadvantages of cross-river channels on the types of bridge and tunnel. Taking the channel crossing Fenghua River in Siming Road of Ningbo as an example, the overall layouts of the bridge and tunnel cross-river schemes are studied separately. And the relationship between the bridge-tunnel scheme and the subway is analyzed. After the comparison and analysis on the advantages and disadvantages of the bridge and tunnel schemes, the conclusion is that the bridge mode crossing river is the best scheme, which provides the reference for the similar cross-river channel projects.
