The first phase of the connector project linking the Wofo Lake Ring Tourism Road in Shucheng County — the Tangchi-Dezhou Expressway Link — has been completed and opened to traffic, marking direct expressway access to the Wofo Lake Scenic Area. This further densifies the "one ring with multiple radials" radiated road network around Wofo Lake and adds a new corridor for the integrated development of transportation and tourism in Shucheng County.
The project spans a total length of 5.668 kilometers with a total investment of approximately 142 million yuan. It was built to the standard of a two-way, two-lane secondary highway with a roadbed width of 12 meters and a design speed of 60 kilometers per hour.
The route begins at the Wofo Lake Ring Tourism Road, passes through Sanjiang, Hufan and other villages, crosses the Longtan River and Tangchi River, and ends at the Tangchi interchange of the Dezhou Expressway and Provincial Road S237.
Following the opening of the project, the long detours and inconvenient travel previously faced by nearby residents seeking expressway access have been completely resolved. The regional road network layout has been further improved, road traffic efficiency and safety guarantees have been significantly enhanced, and daily travel for residents has become more time-saving, worry-free and convenient.
This connector successfully links the natural scenery of Wofo Lake with the hot spring wellness resources of Tangchi, truly enabling visitors to "enter quickly and tour slowly," and effectively raising the quality of all-for-one tourism services and the regional investment environment.
At the same time, the smooth road network also facilitates the outward transport of specialty agricultural products such as tea and chestnuts along the route, effectively reducing transportation costs, driving industrial development and income growth for residents along the way, and injecting tangible transportation vitality into rural revitalization.
