The Wusong River Project is one of the 172 major national water-saving and water supply projects identified by the State Council. The first phase of the Wusong River Project, including the new Chuansha River section, the Suzhou River West Gate, and the western section of the Susong River Inner Harbor Line, is being fully promoted as planned. The Luoqun River North section is the second phase of the project, with a total length of about 5.8 kilometers. The main construction content includes dredging the river for about 5.8 kilometers, building a new revetment for about 11 kilometers, and building and renovating 7 cross-river bridges and their ancillary supporting projects.
The first section of the bridge project started this time is under construction by Shanghai Urban Investment Group and undertaken by Shanghai Road and Bridge Engineering Co., Ltd. It is located in Xuhang Town, Jiading District. The route is basically the same as the existing Xinjian Road. It is about 1.3 kilometers long and is one of the important east-west passages connecting Jiading and Baoshan. The construction content includes demolishing and rebuilding a bridge, building new ground roads, greening and pipelines, etc.
After the new construction and renovation, the river width of the northern section of Luoqun River will be widened from 24 meters to 96 meters, the clear height of the bridge will be increased from 3 meters to 7 meters, the clear navigation width will also be increased from 14 meters to 60 meters, and the river channel grade will be upgraded to a third-level waterway, which will greatly enhance the shipping capacity and flood discharge and drainage capacity of the Taihu Lake basin, effectively alleviate the pressure of drainage, and improve the regional river network dynamic conditions.
