Where does the Jiaotong Expressway run from and to?
2 Answers
The Jiaotong Expressway runs from Jiaozuo to Tongbai (Linzhou to Ruzhou). It is a provincial expressway in Henan Province. The Jiaotong Expressway was opened on October 21, 2010, with a total length of 44.922 kilometers and a designed speed of 120 kilometers per hour. The Jiaotong Expressway passes through Xianghe Township, Chunshui Town, Fuzhuang Township, Jialou Township, Wangdian Township, and Gaoyi Township in Biyang County, intersecting with S234, S333, and S334 successively, and ends at the southeast of Biyang County near Tongshan Lake, where it intersects with the Zhumadian to Biyang Expressway. The entire route is designed as a two-way four-lane highway with a roadbed width of 28 meters, serving as a new approach for the organic integration of ecological and environmental protection.
I've been driving long distances on the Jiaotong Expressway for several years. This expressway starts from Jiaozuo in Henan and extends to Tongbai in Nanyang, with a total length of about 210 kilometers. The starting point is near the Jiaozuo East toll station, and the endpoint is at the Tongbei North exit. Having driven it countless times, I find the road relatively smooth, but the mountainous sections have many curves that require caution, especially during rain or snow when it's prone to skidding. Along the way, there are farmlands and villages—the scenery is ordinary but very peaceful. The service areas are well-equipped, making it convenient to refuel and rest. The biggest advantages are time and fuel savings: what used to take 3 hours on national roads now takes just 2 hours, with 20% less fuel consumption. A reminder to fellow drivers: avoid peak holiday hours to skip traffic jams, and regularly check tire pressure. This expressway is crucial for logistics in central and northern Henan—I often haul goods here, and it has significantly improved efficiency.
