en.Wedoany.com Reported - Today, the Quanzhou-Rongxian Expressway (Pingnan-Rongxian Section) project in Guangxi (referred to as the "Pingrong Expressway") has been fully opened to traffic. The Pingrong Expressway is a core component of the "Vertical Line 2" in Guangxi's expressway network plan, with a total length of 87 kilometers. It is constructed to a two-way four-lane standard with a design speed of 120 km/h. The project has a bridge-tunnel ratio of 22.72%, including 1 extra-large bridge, 42 large bridges, and 3 tunnels. It features 3 hub interchanges, 6 ramp interchanges, and 2 service areas.

It is understood that all toll stations along the project have completely eliminated traditional toll booths, adopting integrated smart cloud cabins for remote control and equipped with intelligent devices such as AI robotic arm self-service card dispensing and collection machines. This achieves unmanned smart toll collection on lanes, significantly improving traffic efficiency. The completion and opening of the Pingrong Expressway reduces the travel time between Pingnan and Rongxian from 2 hours to 1 hour.

As a major artery connecting Hunan, Guangxi, and Guangdong, the Pingrong Expressway links multiple expressways including Liuwu, Wugui, and Guangkun, significantly enhancing the interconnectivity between the Xijiang Economic Belt, the Beibu Gulf Economic Zone, and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. It injects strong momentum into Guangxi's efforts to improve its road network layout and advance the construction of a transportation powerhouse.
