Changes of Zhongshan Road in Jiaxing
Zhongshan Road in Jiaxing, built at 1983, is the main traffic road in the east-west direction of the city. Jiaxing's oldest CBD is on this road, once called "the first road in northern Zhejiang", carrying many unforgettable memories of Jiaxing people.
In the past, Zhongshan Road was originally a path 8 meters wide and less than 1000 meters long, with residential blocks on both sides. Since 1983, Zhongshan Road has been comprehensively reconstructed and widened, with a length of 3. 14 km and a width of 40 meters.
During the period of 1987, Jiangnan Mansion, Electric Power Mansion, Postal Mansion, Textile Mansion, Food Mansion, Minfeng Mansion, Silk Mansion and Wenhua Garden sprang up on both sides of Zhongshan Road, assuming the functions of the east-west main roads of the city. It was once known as "the first road in northern Zhejiang".
20 14 in order to alleviate the urban traffic pressure, after the overhaul in 2004, Zhongshan Road on 20 14 ushered in a comprehensive "facelift".
20 15 Zhongshan road has been completely transformed for half a year, and the charm of the atmosphere has been renewed.
In 20 18, Jiaxing plans to focus on the environmental upgrading of "one ring and four roads" in about two years, making it clear that Zhongshan Road is a model to be tried first, focusing on road traffic, building facade, street furniture, greening and lighting.
