In order to alleviate the traffic pressure in the downtown of Shantou, the viaduct of Huanghe main road (Taishan Road-Dongxia Road), a rapid transit upgrading and reconstruction project, was open to vehicles in the early morning of July 24.

The rapid transit upgrading and reconstruction of Huanghe Road is a livelihood project for the city to relieve traffic congestion in the central urban area. It adopts the urban expressway standards and has a total length of 4.2 kilometers. After reconstruction, the viaduct overpasses four important traffic intersections, and underneath passes the Dongxia intersection through tunnel, realizing rapid transit without traffic lights on the whole line. The Huanghe Road viaduct has a total length of 2.1 kilometers, with a two-way six-lane motor traffic, and a designed speed of 80 km/h. During the temporary trial opening stage, the temporary speed limit is 40 km/h. It can directly pass through four main intersections along the line in 5 minutes, which is efficient and fast. As an important east-west passageway in the downtown area, the main line of Huanghe Road expressway will form an inner ring expressway in the downtown area together with Taishan Road under reconstruction to connect with important transportation hubs such as Shantou Railway Station, and construct a 15-minute convenient living circle between the east and west of the city.
