Is the Qiyang Expressway Closed?
2 Answers
A certain section will be closed. Starting from October 10th, the southbound section of G15 Coastal Expressway from Xue'an Junction to Nantong North will undergo a 20-day closure for road construction. Vehicles originally passing through this section will be partially diverted to S28 Qiyang Expressway for detour. Below are relevant precautions for driving on expressways: Strictly adhere to expressway speed limits: This includes both maximum and minimum speeds. Do not exceed the maximum speed or drive below the minimum speed, as both can easily lead to safety accidents. On two-lane roads, use the left lane; on roads with three or more lanes, use the middle lane. The right lane often has many large trucks, so try to stay away from it. Check your vehicle's condition before entering the expressway: Pay special attention to the fuel tank, tires, brakes, and water. If tires are severely damaged, replace them first. If there are issues with the brakes, repair them promptly. Due to high speeds on expressways, the windshield can easily accumulate insect remains, in which case windshield washer fluid will be useful.
Oh man, let me tell you about the Qiyang Expressway situation. I used to drive this route frequently, especially during rush hours, and sometimes encountered closures due to heavy rain or accidents, leaving the entire road completely jammed. I remember last summer when a heavy downpour caused such deep flooding on the expressway that the police had to close it entirely. We were stuck on the road for two to three hours without moving an inch. Since then, I’ve made it a habit to always check official apps like Gaode or Baidu Maps for real-time traffic updates before hitting the road—they’ll instantly notify you about closures. If the road is closed, either wait for the reopening notice or take a detour via local roads. Never try to force your way through—safety is far more important than saving time. It’s also good to keep an eye on traffic radio or local news channels to stay ahead of such situations and avoid a wasted trip.
