During the New Year's holiday, on highways, at ports, along shipping lanes, and in stations, tens of thousands of transportation workers remained steadfast at their posts. Highway maintenance crews battled ice and snow to ensure smooth travel, maritime law enforcement officers patrolled the choppy waters, and city bus drivers worked tirelessly from dawn till dusk... Their contributions may not be earth-shattering feats, but their day-in, day-out dedication warms journeys with their sweat, adding depth to the holiday's meaning as they safeguard the successful completion of every departure and arrival.
In Shaanxi province during the holiday, all units of the provincial transportation system treated snow as a command, working in unison to conduct ice and snow removal, keep roads open, and ensure service support. The Chencang Highway Section deployed 13 pieces of equipment to clear snow from key routes, striving to guarantee safe vehicle passage. The Taibai Highway Section adopted a coordinated "mechanical snow removal + manual spreading" approach. The Lingyou Highway Section focused on icy-prone sections of national and provincial trunk lines, repeatedly performing snow-plowing, de-icing, and spreading melting agents.
The Jinwei Highway Section operated efficiently by combining manual labor with machinery, using snow-removal brushes alongside melting agent spreaders, while also enhancing traffic control and road condition monitoring. Highway sections in Fengxian, Qianyang, Longxian, and other counties simultaneously engaged in snow removal and road clearance efforts to minimize the impact of snowfall on traffic. The Transportation Bureau of Baqiao District in Xi'an, adhering to the principle of "clearing as it falls, ensuring roads are clear once the snow stops," prioritized machinery with manual support to conduct orderly snow removal on all affected sections, promptly spreading melting agents.
They concurrently increased the frequency of road surface inspections and, based on feedback regarding snow and ice accumulation, supplemented the spreading of melting agents and anti-skid materials as needed to strictly prevent road icing, fully ensuring traffic safety on key routes like main arteries, steep slopes, and bridges within their jurisdiction. Shaanxi Transportation Control Group's Xiantong Branch adopted an operational model of "echelon advancement, segmented operations, machines running non-stop even when personnel rest," conducting repeated snow removal and precise melting agent distribution in key areas. They formed escort teams with highway police to ensure both the safety of snow removal vehicles and orderly traffic flow.
For sections prone to icing, they pre-emptively set up traffic warning signs and audio-visual alarm devices, assigning dedicated personnel for key monitoring to observe road surface icing conditions in real-time. They also established public service points at toll stations to provide warm services for passing drivers and passengers. Shaanxi Transportation Control Group's Jingfu Branch, following the operational guideline of "machinery primary, manual support, focus on key points, continuous day and night operations," carried out multiple rounds of snow removal and preventive melting agent spreading on easily frozen sections. They increased patrol frequency and issued real-time road condition and safety alerts.
Adequate material reserves were maintained to provide considerate services for travelers. By 11:00 on the 31st, they had cumulatively deployed over 200 personnel and 30 machine shifts of various equipment, distributing more than 30 tons of melting agent. In Xinjiang, the Ruoqiang-Minfeng Highway experienced a travel peak during the New Year holiday.
