Many expressways in Hubei and Hunan are seriously congested. How to break the ice and remove snow to ensure smooth traffic on Spring Festival travel rush Road？
Beijing, China, February 5 (Reporter Tan Xuan, Voice of China, Han Xueying, Kong Ying) According to News Horizon, Voice of China, Central Radio and Television Station, as the Spring Festival approaches, more and more people are on their way home. Recently, rain and snow have occurred in a large area of the country, which has brought challenges to everyone’s journey home. According to the news from the Comprehensive Dispatching Command Center of the Ministry of Transport, as of 5 pm on the 4th, 107 road sections were closed, involving 36 expressways, and 637 toll stations were closed, involving 98 expressways.
On the 4th, many listeners reported to the Voice of China news hotline 400-800-0088 at the main station that due to the weather, many expressways in Hubei and Hunan were seriously congested, and a large number of vehicles were trapped on the roads, and food and hot water might be in short supply at any time. How to break the ice and remove snow to ensure smooth flow?
On February 2, Ms. Gao’s family of four in Henan started a self-driving trip to Hainan. At 6: 00 pm on the 4th, according to the original plan, Ms. Gao’s family should have been on the ferry crossing Qiongzhou Strait to Hainan, but they were trapped in Tianmen section of Xuguang Expressway in Hubei. It took more than 30 hours to walk more than 100 kilometers in Hubei.
Ms. Gao said: "We are going in the direction of Tianmen. The expressway is full of thick ice, and many cars can’t walk, and they are slipping. We sleep on the highway at night. I originally bought a ticket for the Qiongzhou Strait Ferry at night, but now I definitely can’t get there. There are still thousands of kilometers to go. "
Afraid that it would cost oil to turn on the air conditioner, Ms. Gao’s family were all wrapped in the thickest clothes. She said that the two children are only 3 years old. The practical difficulty is that they can’t make milk powder without hot water, and the children can only make do with it. "Cookies, etc., for children can eat a little, and mineral water is left for children to drink. There is still half of the oil, which is relatively ok, because as soon as other cars stop, we will quickly turn off the engine. When we slept, we also turned off the fire. We found a quilt and slept with it. We didn’t dare to turn on the air conditioner, just to save fuel. "
Also blocked on the highway are the Spring Festival "food basket" goods. Mr. Du, the truck driver, wants to transport a car of sugar oranges to Shandong. By the afternoon of the 4th, he had been driving slowly in Wuhan section of Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao Expressway for more than 20 hours.
Mr. Du said: "We have been pulling vegetables and fruits for more than 24 hours, and we are very anxious. After a long time, the owner said that the orange had gone bad, and if it was broken, it would not be received. This car would have to pay hundreds of thousands. "
The same situation also appeared in many expressways in Hunan. At 6 o’clock on the evening of the 4th, Mr. Wang, who drove back to Chongqing from Guangdong, told the reporter that in the past 24 hours, the vehicle only traveled 4.7 kilometers forward between Huaihua City and Jishou City.
Mr. Wang said: "We were at the source of the traffic jam at that time. We may have blocked one or two hundred kilometers behind us. After the release, there was no car to shovel ice. I hope that the local government can organize sanitation and other departments to clear a road so that people trapped on the high-speed can walk normally. "
As of 12: 00 on the 4th, several expressways in Hubei Province have taken temporary traffic control measures, such as closing toll stations and releasing different vehicles.
Candy Xiao, deputy section chief of the Emergency Disposal Department of Hubei Highway Emergency Disposal Service Center, said: "As of 9: 30pm on February 4th, parts of Wuhan, Xiaogan and Jianghan Plain were slowed down by the sudden heavy snowfall. Xiaogan section of G4 Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao Expressway, Dongxihu-Junshan section, Junshan section of G0421 Xuguang Expressway, Qianjiang-Jingzhou section of G50 Huyu Expressway and Yunmeng section of G70 Fuyin Expressway are mainly congested and slow. "
Qu Zhixin, deputy director of the operation and management department of Xiangxi Branch of Hunan Expressway Group, told Voice of China that Xiangxi is at the junction with Hubei, Chongqing and Guizhou provinces, and the domestic expressway sections are greatly affected by low temperature, rain, snow and freezing weather. On February 3, Guizhou Expressway implemented traffic control due to bad weather, which directly led to a large number of vehicles stranded in the main section of Hangrui Expressway.
Qu Zhixin said: "Because too many vehicles are stranded on the main line, which affects the operation, there are certain difficulties in the Baotong meeting. At that time, the Hangrui Expressway was diverted from the Huangsiqiao toll station. After getting off the expressway, the local government standardized the parking management of the stranded vehicles, and the resettlement work of the stranded personnel was completed. "
In view of the large-scale freezing rain weather, Hubei high-speed traffic police and road maintenance departments have intensified snow shoveling and deicing. At present, several important highway sections in Hubei Province, such as Suizhou section of Fuyin Expressway, Xianning section of Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao Expressway and Yichang section of Shanghai-Chongqing Expressway, have started emergency ice shoveling and snow removal.
Candy Xiao said, "We have intensified our efforts to shovel ice and snow. The specific measure is to use the snow removal vehicle to open the road ahead, and then crush it by some important trucks. Police cars and road vehicles will clear the way ahead and lead the stranded vehicles to limit the speed and load. "
At the same time, for the problem of food and hot water supply strongly reflected by the trapped people, Hubei transportation department promised to coordinate all forces to solve it one after another to ensure that the basic living needs of trapped drivers and passengers are met.
Candy Xiao said: "During the detention period, there will be special personnel to bring them hot water and fast food. It may be that some road sections are relatively far away from service areas and toll stations because of traffic jams, and it is difficult to transport some materials. However, the Baotong Baochang work class is also dispatching local cities and various business units to urge them to implement relevant measures to resettle and ensure the stranded personnel. "
Qi Zhixin introduced that at around 5 pm on the 4 th, through multi-department joint logistics linkage, Xiangxi Expressway can pass normally, and there are some slow-moving situations at some points. Emergency personnel have been arranged to manually remove snow and sprinkle salt.
Qu Zhixin said: "We use the volunteer service of our branch to distribute materials, such as bread and mineral water, to some vehicles stuck in the main line. As soon as the proper temperature is reached, the spreading work will be carried out immediately, because the whole line is open now, but all the lanes have not been shoveled, only two lanes have been shoveled, and the workload is too heavy. Now the staff are working 24 hours a day. Judging from the current weather conditions, it is the worst after 0: 00 on the 6 th, and it will definitely be on duty all night. "
The rescue operation against time is still going on, and relevant departments are making every effort to overcome the challenges brought by extreme weather and ensure that every Spring Festival travel rush returnee can return home safely as soon as possible.
Candy Xiao said, "Don’t worry, drivers and friends stranded in Hubei Expressway. Please be patient and cooperate with the traffic control, road administration and territorial staff in the front line. Now, the congestion situation has been alleviated, the congested road sections are gradually decreasing, and the congestion distance and duration are also decreasing. We can get through the expressway as quickly as possible. "
