It is estimated that by 20 13, the daily traffic volume of vehicles on Taikoo Expressway will reach 148 14 times, and the existing vehicles on Taikoo Road will be diverted. By then, Gujiao's raw coal, clean coal, coke and other products can be continuously transported out of Xishan through the expressway, and agricultural and sideline products such as fruits and vegetables will be transported back to Gujiao more smoothly.
Li Wenqing believes that the completion of Taigu Expressway will not only improve the traffic conditions in Gujiao, but also promote the rapid economic development. More importantly, ancient friendship has entered people's field of vision and realized the overall appreciation of ancient friendship. A 30-minute drive, like an urban area in Taiyuan, will more conveniently accept the all-round radiation of the provincial capital's economy, information, transportation and culture. The attraction of ancient friendship to the outside world has increased. Now the land price of 40. 1 10,000 mu can't be bought at 80. 1 10,000 mu. He concluded: "Gujiao Expressway is like Gujiao with wings and flying high!"
Not only is the connection between Gujiao and Taiyuan more convenient, but also the resource-rich western poverty-stricken counties such as Loufan, Xingxian, Jingle, Fangshan and Linxian are more closely connected with the provincial capital. For example, vehicles going to the provincial capital in Luliang area are now bypassing Gujiao and getting on the expressway. After the Taigu Expressway is opened to traffic, it will become the shortest golden passage from the provincial capital in the west. The ancient friendship between Taiyuan and Lvliang will have a greater radiation effect. Our province's strategy of "relying on the central region and developing the two wings" will be better implemented.
