Abstract:Xiazhou Avenue is an important part of "four-vertical five-horizontal" expressway network in Yichang. In order to adapt to the urban development, the construction of Xiazhou Avenue Phase III is imperative. Xiazhou Avenue is "vertical No.1" in the "four-vertical five-horizontal" expressway network system in the planning of central urban area in Yichang, which is not only the main backbone of express channels and urban road network for travel, but also a main artery of urban traffic. The farmlands, mountain forests, gullies and other terrains are mainly distributed along this project. The current buildings are mainly the resident buildings of villagers. The river system in the area is developed. There are natural gullies along the foothills. The roads in the area are intersected with the existing Xianfeng Road, Anxiao Road and the planned Yizhi Expressway. Through the comparison and analysis, the overall scheme of this route is proposed, and the node schemes of the important intersections are compared and demonstrated.
