northwest of Hubei has met with unprecedented development opportunities. Resort to

its unique geographical location and convenient traffic conditions, Xiangyang shall

enjoy with the stronger external radiation and industrial cohesion. At present, the

traffic construction of Xiangyang is faced with austere challenges, the location

advantage shall be changed into the economic advantage only by taking the traffic or

communication as a bridge, and embodying the urban fascination and enhancing the

urban comprehensive competitive power needs to construct a modernized urban

traffic system. In order to improve the urban traffic and urban functions, boost the

construction of the experiment zone reform test of state level of Xiangyang urban

circle, at the same time, it’s necessary to further increase the force or the traffic

construction and meet the traffic demand of continuous development.

In July 2009, at the loan project meeting jointly held by National Development and

Reform Commission and Ministry of Finance, World Bank agreed to the draft

resolution of USD 100,000,000 loan to Xiangfan urban traffic project. At the meeting,

each party planned to submit the project to be built to the board of director of World

Bank for approval, in order to be included into World Bank 2012 financial loan

program.

From Nov. 5~6, 2009, World Bank dispatched the first delegation to Xiangfan for

conducting the preliminary communication for this project.

In May 2010, the Proposal for Utilizing World Bank Loan by Xiangfan Urban Project

Construction by Xiangfan city, Hubei Province was completed.

In Dec. 2010, World Bank further promoted conducting the feasibility study on

Xiangyang Urban Transportation Project with loan of World Bank by Xiangyang,

perfecting the road network system of Panggong area, boosting the construction on

the parking lots and public traffic stations. Greatly implement the strategy of “public

traffic preference”, enhance the public traffic service level. Strengthen the traffic

control and get done with the traffic jam removal and smooth traffic protection work.

From January 13 to January 16, 2011, feasibility study consultants did a 12-hour

traffic volume survey of Changhong Bridge, No.1 Han River Bridge, and so as the on-

site reconnaissance of Panggong road network. Then they made a full communication

with Project Office of Xiangyang Construction Investment Co. Ltd.

From March 30 to April 1, 2011, a delegation of World Bank experts went to

1.12 Environment protection object

1.12.1 Ecological sensitive object

Through investigation, the assessment scope of the project has not involved natural

reserves, scenic spots, forest parks, historical and cultural sites under government

protection, basic farmland protection area and other ecological sensitive objects.

1.12.2 Water environment protection object

Due to Panggong area where the main civil works located having no river water

system at present, at the same time, the project has not involved the scope inside Han

River levee, so the project has not involved water source protection area. But, due to

2.2.1 Design scheme of exclusive priority public transport corridors

In this project, 13 public transport corridors are chosen to be example roads of

improvement project. The details about the improvement scheme of 13 priority

public transport corridors mainly involve the setting of peak hour bus exclusive

entrance lanes. The standard cross-sections of the road sections will remain

32

unchanged in this scheme. The bus stops along these 13 lines will be built into

bay station of the same width as a bus. In addition, in the design scope of 13

corridors (13.1km), the entrance line of key junctions will be re-channelized.

Bus exclusive entrance lanes (mainly existing through lanes) will be added. It

will be the second lane from the yellow line after channelization. For details

refer to Table 2-3, Fig. 2-3.

Figure2-3 Concept of the Peak hour Bus Exclusive Entrance Lane

According to the design scheme, bus exclusive entrance lanes will be provided

at Shengli Street-Huancheng South road, Zhongyuan Road-Chunyuan Road,

Xijie Street-Nanjie Street among the 13 public transport lines, totaling 17 bus

exclusive entrance lanes to be set at 11 junctions. For details see Figure 2-4.

Other junctions and road sections basically remain unchanged.～

The bay-station improvement scheme of 13 public transport corridors is to newly build or re-build

21 30m-long bay stations and to newly build 4 40m-long bay stations and 13 60m-long bay

stations, totaling 38 bay stations. All the stations will be provided with new integrated bus

shelters. Meanwhile, light-box stop boards and electronic stop boards will be provided as

hardware support of intelligent public transport GPS system.

There are 62 short-term bus stops (31 pairs) in Panggong area. So, it needs to provide 62 sets of

34

new integrated bus shelters as ancillary facilities.

investigation, the borrow pit is located between the army oil depot ~cement factory at

west of Qianying Village Jiaoliu railway to the southwest of the project, it’s borrowed

from the hill, designed average excavation depth is 2~3m, no impact shall be met

from underground water at the designed borrow depth. Through investigation, the

selected borrow pit of the project has not passed the land consolidation area as

stipulated by the state, earth material nature is clay, it conforms to the earth use

requirement for the project. This pit is 70m long, 40m wide, with an area of 0.28hm2,

the type of land occupation is barren grass land, water confluence area is 1.42hm2.

This borrow scheme is adopted two-level borrow mode from the top to bottom, in the

borrow process, first remove surface soil, the surface soil is placed within the

expropriated land, no repeated expropriation shall occur, after the end of the borrow,

it shall be returned to forest land according to local land use policy.

2.9.3 Interim stack site

Partial road sections of the project penetrate through arable land, it needs to remove the

surface cultivated soil and soil with plant roots. The removed surface soil shall be used as

interim abandoned soil, it shall be concentrated stacked at the interim stack site set up at

the subgrade side according to the line topographical sections, interim stack site is mainly

selected the bottomland area at the road side outside the subgrade, for the benefit of use

for road greening, one interim stack site is set up at each road section of the project,

totaling 7 places. Through estimation, total newly increased interim land occupation is

about 2.88hm2. Schedule of interim stack site refers to Table 2-8.

2.9.4 Construction production and living area

Though the project being severely affected by local work point topographical

conditions, the layout for construction production and living area is quite difficult,

yet, most of construction prefab yard, pavement base, asphalt concreting mixing plant

and others, may be placed by selecting the construction site with better conditions,

But, interim land occupation shall try to occupy the minimal arable land, pay attention

to environment protection and exiting the site for the farm. Total 7 construction

production and living areas, details for construction production and living area refer to

2.9.5 Interim construction road

The project is constructed in urban area, the existing Xingguang Road, Panggong

Road, Jianghua Road and others are crisscross, they may be used as construction

roads. The newly increased construction roads of the project are mainly leading to

excavation waste dump, borrow pit and road of construction sites. According to

preliminary estimation in this period, the general length of the interim construction

road needs to be kept, lay interim construction road areas along the relevant road

sections of the line, the project needs totally constructing interim road areas reaching

3.67km, of which, 1.75km road is leading to waste yard, 1.07km road is leading to

stock yard, 0.85km road is leading to construction site. Expropriation width is 7m,
