Since the snowstorm hit the eastern and southern parts of China, including Suzhou, on June 26th, 65438, the roads and railways in our city have been caught off guard. As it is the highest peak in Spring Festival travel rush, trains and buses are seriously delayed, and a large number of passengers are overstocked in railway stations and bus stations.

In the face of the natural disasters that have not happened in more than 20 years, the transportation department of our city has taken measures day and night to alleviate the traffic tension in the extraordinary period, and at all costs, strived to keep the entrances and exits of Sujiahang Expressway in the north-south direction, the Suzhou section of 3 12 National Road in the east-west direction, and the Shanghai-Nanjing Expressway unblocked. Smooth, especially large bridge deck, slope, bend, ramp and other parts, all national and provincial roads should ensure four lanes smooth.

65438+1October 30th is an anxious day. The snow on the Sujiahang Expressway has not been cleared, but it began to snow in the afternoon. On this day, there was a large backlog of vehicles in Suzhou City section of Sujiahang from south to north. The city stopped 4,474 shuttle buses, stranded passengers 1258, and handled 22,989 free refunds.

Roads must be clear to transport passengers and goods. In the face of snowstorm, among all ordinary expressways and expressways in Suzhou, Sujiahang Expressway, as the north-south artery, has the greatest pressure. 65438+1From 9: 00 pm on October 30th to 1 1, the main person in charge of the Municipal Transportation Bureau paid close attention to the road conditions at the Sujiahang Monitoring Center. At the same time, our reporter also learned about the snowstorm situation of the expressway and the corresponding countermeasures in the monitoring center. The reporter saw on the big screen of the monitoring center that the traffic jam in Sujiahang (Hangzhou-Suzhou direction) was very serious due to the icy road surface. At a place near Sujiahang and Suzhou North Interchange, the blocked motorcade stopped for two hours before moving slowly. The reason for the traffic jam is that Sujiahang turned to the Shanghai-Nanjing Expressway ramp, and the ramp was steep. For safety reasons, heavy trucks dare not drive, so they can only move forward bit by bit.

At that time, the big screen clearly showed that there was still snow on both sides of the two-way lane of Sujiahang Expressway, and there was only 5 meters left in the 7.5-meter one-way lane. There are also large and small "ice bumps" in the middle of the road, and there is still a lot of reflection when the headlights touch the road. The reflection is where the ice freezes. Despite this, the reporter found that there are still many vehicles that have squeezed into the ice and snow on both sides regardless of the danger and swaggered forward. According to the staff, due to the irregular rolling of vehicles and the drop of temperature, the snow on both sides of the road has become "hard ice", which is very difficult and slow to remove. The telephone of the snow-sweeping commando said that it would take at least three or four hours to clear the ice and snow of 1 km.

In order to alleviate the congestion of Sujiahang Expressway, Sujiahang was supervised at night of 65438+1October 30th.

That night 10: 40, the control center cooperated with the traffic police to forcibly guide the blocked vehicles from Shengze main line to Wuzhong entrance and exit to high speed, and all of them were released free of charge. This forced diversion continued until 65438+1October 3 1 in the afternoon. At 8: 45 am on June 365438+1October 3 1 Sunday, the overstocked vehicles were forced to be diverted at the toll station in Sujiahang City.

On June 365438+1October 3 1 day, the sun shone all over the earth, which created a good opportunity to clean the snow on the road. Yesterday afternoon, the reporter came to Sujiahang Expressway Monitoring Center again. After a day and a night of snow removal, the snow from Sujiahang urban interchange to North Interchange was cleared yesterday afternoon. As of yesterday afternoon, the snow from Sujiahang urban interchange to Jiangsu-Zhejiang boundary was completely cleared.

At present, the national and provincial trunk highways in Suzhou are basically smooth, and the highway department has mobilized all its forces to invest in snow removal and smoothness in key areas such as the Suzhou section of National Highway 3 12.

The slogan of Suzhou Bus Terminal is "Don't pay attention to interests, just do your duty". Considering the rain and snow forecast after February 1, the overtime work of long-distance buses in our city was basically cancelled after February 1. At present, all stations take the form of group departure, including county and city buses, and three or four trains to a city leave at the same time. Choose high-speed or ordinary roads according to the road conditions, so that these vehicles can take care of each other on the road. As of yesterday 15: 00, the city's passenger shuttle bus has run a total of 5049 times, safely sending passengers 1340 16 times.

The railway, which was also affected by the nationwide snowstorm weather, later improved. This year, Suzhou Railway Station has added seven outlets that sell tickets synchronously with Pingsi Road in the urban area, greatly reducing the number of people queuing for tickets at Pingsi Road. When the peak of Spring Festival travel rush changed from the peak of ticket sales to the peak of travel, Suzhou Station changed the ticket office of Pingsi Road into the waiting room, which provided a shelter for a large number of waiting and stranded passengers. As of today 15: 00, the city's railways have added trains 197, sending a total of 38,500 passengers.
