"This kind of thing seems to be something that the provincial city itself should consider, right?" What Lin Xiao thought of was another question.
Although Li Guiyuan is the governor of the province, it seems that it is not very appropriate for him to personally intervene in some specific construction projects in the provincial capital, and this matter can be approved as a major construction project in the province, but it may not be suitable for him to intervene in private.
After all, there is still a provincial government in between, and besides, the secretary of the municipal party committee of the provincial capital is also one of the standing committee members of the provincial party committee, and the power in his hands is not small.
Hastily interfering in this matter is not a good thing for Li Guiyuan, who has taken office as a new official.
It is very likely that this incident will become a fuse that triggers a conflict in the high-level officialdom of Qingshan Province.
"On the surface, it should be a matter of the provincial capital, but if this problem is not solved, it will affect the economic development of the entire central Qingshan Province......" Li Guiyuan can also understand what Lin Xiao means, but as the governor of a province, he naturally has his own considerations, "The four cities in the central part of Qingshan Province, the traffic between each other is blocked by the big river, although there are highway bridges and railway bridges, but in the face of the increasingly developing economic situation, these transportation channels have gradually become inadequate." If we don't address this now, I think in two years' time, the problem will be even worse. β
Lin Xiao listened, nodded, and then pondered.
Li Guiyuan's words are good; as governor of the province, he has many issues to be concerned about, and from the perspective of the overall situation of the province's economic development, it can be seen that his opinion is very crucial, and although the provincial capital has the power to directly intervene in this issue, if this problem is not resolved, it will become a headache for the entire Qingshan Province.
As the governor of a province, Li Guiyuan certainly has reason to be concerned about this issue.
"Actually, we also discussed this issue when we passed by." Lin Xiao thought about it for a while, and finally told Li Guiyuan what he thought, "Building a bridge, after all, it is impossible to make too much, and the traffic flow through is indeed limited, rather than this, it is better to consider it from another aspect, for example, the tunnel under the river?" β
"The tunnel under the river?" After Li Guiyuan heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Cao Tiancheng, and then said to Lin Xiao, "In this way, your opinion coincides with Chairman Cao." His view is also to open one or two tunnels under the river to completely solve this problem. β
Lin Xiao looked at Cao Tiancheng, and said in his heart that there is no shortage of smart people in this world, and there is no shortage of understanding people, but smart people and understanding people may not be able to grasp enough power, so there will be so many unsatisfactory and unhappy people in this world.
Of course, even if the wise and the understanding are in power, the world may not be so good.
After all, the selfishness of the wise and understanding people may be heavier.
This matter is an unsolvable proposition, which no one can solve and will never be able to solve.
Cao Tiancheng was interested, so he told Lin Xiao about his opinion.
According to his idea, this tunnel under the river is naturally the best solution.
Why not build a bridge? This question may sound redundant, but when you look at it closely, you will feel that it is completely necessary to analyze it carefully.
"In recent years, there have been many problems in bridge construction......," Cao Tiancheng said with some emotion, "The construction industry says that Jinqiao Yinlu grass construction, the profit of building bridges is naturally the highest, and even the design institute can make a lot of money, but the construction quality of the bridge is indeed difficult to adapt to the current situation development." β
Li Guiyuan and Lin Xiao both nodded involuntarily when they heard this.
For Cao Tiancheng's words, they still agree that in recent years, accidents in bridge construction can be said to be common, and they have repeatedly entered the public eye.
In recent years, the collapse of new bridges in many places in China, and the phenomenon of "unnatural deaths" of large bridges can be said to be intensifying.
According to incomplete statistics, in the past five years, at least 20 large bridges have collapsed across the country, resulting in nearly 300 deaths, hundreds of injuries, and dozens of missing people.
However, for these large-scale bridge collapse accidents, none of the published investigations have made it clear that the occurrence of the accident is necessarily related to the quality of the bridge itself.
Overruns, overloads, floods, and heavy rains are often blamed as the culprits.
Basically, the initial findings of the various bridge accidents pushed the overloaded vehicles to the foreground, and there were even conclusions that a certain bridge was blown up by firecrackers.
Obviously, the conclusions of these surveys are very different from the judgment of the public, and also contradict the judgment of some industry experts.
Tragedies occur frequently, is this a natural disaster or a man-made disaster? It's really hard to tell.
Basically, every bridge collapse involves a case of corruption, from local government officials, to contractors, construction units involved in construction, and even design institutes, all of whom have unshirkable responsibility.
As soon as the bridge is crossed, no matter how big or small the accident is, a large group of cadres involved in the case will be pulled out, which is already the norm in officialdom.
If there is no very strong background support, there are really not many people willing to build bridges in their own jurisdiction, and it is important to make money, but who dares to guarantee that after the bridge is built, it will be able to hold out until he leaves?
For this kind of thing, no one can say for sure, and they don't dare to try it.
Any big man who is aspiring to go higher and farther is easily unwilling to engage in this kind of thing.
This is also the real reason why the traffic in the provincial capital has become such a problem, and the province also plans to build bridges, but the provincial capital is a little indifferent.
Whether the traffic problem is solved or not will not affect some people's official hats, but if the bridge is built and the bridge collapses, it will really kill people.
After all, this bridge is not like something that can be covered and covered, it just stands there, whether it has collapsed or not, you can see it at a glance, and no one can say it without shame, it will definitely be able to suppress it.
Now the development of means of communication, the growth of network media, and the rise of self-media have made this society indeed not as closed as it was ten or twenty years ago.
As for whether it is possible to build a well-structured, strong and sturdy bridge in the provincial capital, even the governor Li Guiyuan does not dare to pack a ticket, after all, he can't keep an eye on this matter.
Even if he can keep an eye on this matter, it doesn't mean that he can guarantee that the people below will not do anything, after all, this kind of thing is too professional, if he is not an expert, it is just a superficial phenomenon in the past, and it is not much different from being blind.
The idea of building a tunnel under the river seems to be more reliable.
At least, the tunnel really didn't collapse that easily.
"The budget for building a tunnel may be larger than building a bridge, but in the long run, it is still more cost-effective." Referring to this, Cao Tiancheng explained to the two, "For example, the bridge has a bearing capacity problem after all, and it is impossible to pass through large-tonnage vehicles, but the river bottom tunnel does not have this problem. There is also the maintenance and repair of the tunnel at the bottom of the river, which is relatively simple, but the bridge is different, and the repair cost in all aspects is not a small amount every year, not to mention that after a few years, it may have to be demolished and rebuilt. β
Lin Xiao listened to it and quite agreed with Cao Tiancheng's opinion.
Although there are many bridges in the world, after hundreds of years of wind and rain, they can still play a role, but that is because the ornamental role is more important, in fact, as a transportation channel, it may not play much practical role, a hundred tons of trucks, can be pressed down.
Even some famous bridges that exist in modern times need to be maintained and repaired from time to time, otherwise, it is impossible to support them for that long, and it is very likely that after a few years, although the bridge you see is still there, all the materials on it have been replaced many times.
"The matter of building a tunnel is still relatively positive, and the question is, where to solve the problem of the required funds?" "After all, the cost of building a tunnel is not easy to control. β
Lin Xiao nodded, knowing that it was indeed difficult to explain this matter clearly.
He had read a survey by the European Union, which said that the cost of road construction in Spain was almost twice as high as that of Germany.
Such a high construction cost has naturally aroused widespread concern in the society, and people from all walks of life have asked the relevant parties to give explanations and investigate the various procurement processes.
To this end, the European Commission of Auditors conducted a special survey of road works in Germany, Greece and Poland, which were also carried out by EU co-financing.
As a result, the report reveals that the cost of road construction varies greatly between member states.
Road construction costs are the lowest in Germany, with less than 300,000 euros per 1,000 square meters, while in Spain it is 500,000 euros.
It is worth noting that labor costs in Spain are even lower than in Germany.
In terms of annual average daily traffic, Germany loses four times as much road loss per kilometre as Spain, while Poland and Greece are in the middle.
In the construction of roads in Spain, the reason why there is a huge gap between the total construction cost and the cost of road construction is mainly because the construction of roads in Spain requires the construction of a large number of bridges and tunnels, and this cost is very difficult to control.
Before the tunnel is opened, no one dares to say, and a budget can be made very accurately, after all, what will happen to things underground, no one knows until they encounter it.
"If private capital is introduced to operate this matter, there will be no problem, but unfortunately, the investment of billions or tens of billions of dollars is not something that everyone can take, and no one is willing to spend so much money to invest in this kind of construction." Cao Tiancheng said with some regret.
"Not necessarily." Lin Xiao said suddenly. (To be continued) This text is provided by If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the creation of a recommended vote, a monthly pass, your support, is my biggest motivation. οΌ
