HANGZHOU plans to construct a middle-ring road and a third runway at Xiaoshan International airport to ease traffic congestion.
With a total length of 188 kilometers, the middle-ring road will be composed of three parts and connect with several expressways. After completion, it will be a major component of Hangzhou’s highway network, and serve as the second ring between Raocheng Expressway and no. 2 Raocheng Expressway, which is under construction.
At Xiaoshan International airport, plans for a third runway are on the table as the number of passengers at the airport is expected to reach 41.5 million annually by 2020. The number of passengers in the first half of this year reached 15.3 million, and the total number for 2016 is expected to exceed 30 million.
The third runway is expected to begin construction before 2022 and be put into operation in 2025.
Hangzhou is also actively pushing forward the construction of the third phase of Metro Line 1 and Metro Line 7. Both lines will have stops at Xiaoshan airport.
According to the plan, the third phase of Metro Line 1 starts at Jiangbin Station in Xiasha area and runs along gangcheng avenue and Linhong Road S., both under plan, and reaches Xiaoshan airport.
Metro Line 7 starts from Wushan Square Station, travels through Xiaoshan airport and reaches Jiangdong no. 2 Road after crossing Shangcheng, Jianggan, Binjiang and Xiaoshan districts.
