Guangdong-Jiangxi Expressway Construction Background
The mountains in Nanling Mountains are high and the clouds are deep, which has always been a bottleneck restricting the exchanges between the Central Plains and Lingnan, Jiangxi and Guangdong provinces. As early as the Qin Dynasty, Qin Shihuang opened Xiaomei Pass, which opened the passage from the Central Plains to Baiyue. In the Tang Dynasty, in order to connect the Yangtze River water system with the Pearl River water system, Zhang Jiuling presided over the excavation of the present Meiguan Ancient Post Road, which strengthened the North-South communication and cargo transportation.
It was not until the 1930s and 1940s that there was a simple expressway between Jiangxi and Guangdong provinces. After the reform and opening up, with the rapid development of economy, the number of people and goods traveling from south to north has increased rapidly. The 105 national highway, 206 national highway, 323 national highway and Beijing-Kowloon railway from Jiangxi to Guangdong were opened one after another, which opened a new chapter in the modern traffic history of Jiangxi and Guangdong provinces. In order to adapt to the rapid economic development and provide efficient and fast traffic roads for the old areas in southern Jiangxi and northern Guangdong, it is the long-awaited wish of the people of Jiangxi and Guangdong provinces to add another expressway.
The completion of Jiangxi Ganding Expressway and Guangdong Heshen Expressway laid the foundation for the opening of the entire Jiangxi-Guangdong Expressway, and the Guangdong-Jiangxi Expressway, which runs through the north and south and runs through the edge of Jiangxi and Guangdong provinces, started construction.
