Abstract:As the eastern radiation line of Suzhou North Ring Expressway, Loujiang Avenue is an important rapid transportation corridor in the northern part of Suzhou Industrial Park. Connecting Suzhou Inner Ring Road, Central Ring Road and Kunshan Expressway network, the improvement and enhancement of Loujiang Avenue are of great significance for supporting the overall integration of the city, strengthening the interconnection of Suzhou-Kunshan Expressway, and improving the surrounding transportation environment. There are many control factors along the route of this project, which involves the sensitive nodes such as expressways, national highways and gas stations, and the construction conditions are complex. This project is the first one to adopt the fully prefabricated and assembled elevated structures in Suzhou, which has the characteristics of short construction period and minimal traffic impact. The functional positioning, traffic volume prediction analysis, technical standards, overall scheme layout, important node schemes and other aspects of the project are discussed. The relevant design results can be as the reference for similar projects.
