Abstract:The design of interchange nodes should be based on the current situation and development goals, and a reasonable overall scheme should be formulated to ensure that the design of the nodes is functionally applicable and economically reasonable. Taking the interchange node project between Jianghai Road and S336 in Haimen District, Nantong City as an example, the overall road network, node function and current situation are analyzed, and the growth of traffic volume is predicted. Under the condition of determining the preliminary interchange shape, and comprehensively considering factors such as traffic demand at the node, existing bridges and surrounding construction conditions, two design schemes of double-deck butterfly interchange and triple-deck butterfly interchange are proposed. The comparison and selection of the schemes are conducted from the aspects of interchange decks, engineering scale, traffic function and pipeline impact. Finally, combined with the overall needs of the project, the main controlling factors are identified, and the interchange scheme is selected according to local conditions. And the thinking process and key design points of the overall layout of the interchange are introduced in detail, which provides the reference for similar projects in the future.
