Yan’an Road E. Tunnel to open by year’s end

RENOVATION on Yan’an Road E. Tunnel, one of the city’s busiest passages under the Huangpu River, will be complete by the end of this year, Shanghai Road Administration Bureau said yesterday.

Work on the northern section — Pudong to Puxi — started in February this year and finished in mid August, while the three-month work on the southern section of the tunnel — Puxi to Pudong — is set to be completed by mid-December, slightly ahead of schedule.

Vehicles from Pudong to Puxi will still be banned from using the tunnel by then as it would be closed to have its traffic signs changed.

Before renovation started in February, an estimated 90,000 vehicles per day traveled through it to get back and forth between Pudong and Puxi.

Twelve routes, including Airport Bus Line 5 linking Pudong International Airport to Shanghai Railway Station and the Airport Night Bus from Pudong to Hongqiao International Airport, had to be rerouted due to the project on the tunnel.
