A ＂slimming＂ blind road in Junan allows citizens to take a ＂cat walk＂
On the morning of the 16th, a citizen of Linyi reported to Qilu Evening News and Qilu that the blind roads in some sections of Huaihai Road in Junan County were "slimmed down", with a width of less than one foot, only 20 cm, and there were broken roads and obstacles. Ju’ nan County Housing and Construction Bureau said that the blind road was not in compliance, which was caused by the construction error of the construction party and ordered it to rework again. Fang Dongfang Road and Bridge Construction Corporation said that the blind road on Huaihai Road is not a problem if the construction is strictly in accordance with the engineering drawings.
On the afternoon of 16th, the reporter came to Junan County. Huaihai Road is the main road across Junan County. On Huaihai Road, the reporter selected the section from West Outer Ring Road to Longshan Road, and found along the way that this 19.4-kilometer "slimming" blind road suddenly "turned sharply" and suddenly "congested", which made it impossible and blocked.
What will happen when the blind road meets the manhole cover? Usually, the blind road will avoid the manhole cover and bypass it. However, a section of the blind road on Huaihai Road in Junan, when the blind road meets a row of manhole, the blind road does not bypass, but "crosses in one step". At the intersection of Huaihai Road and Longshan Road, the blind road on Huaihai Road, east of Longshan Road separated by only one intersection, has a width of 50 cm, which is in sharp contrast.
According to the official website of the People’s Government of Junan County, on July 3, 2017, the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau of Junan County invited tenders for the upgrading and reconstruction project of Huaihai Road in Junan County. The construction funds came from financial funds, with a total investment of about 211,410,600 yuan, with a total length of 19.4 kilometers, including road, pipe network construction, greening (including original greening transplantation) and paving. The planned construction period is 100 days.
According to this, Shandong Dongfang Road and Bridge Construction Corporation was the first successful candidate, and the project manager was Wenhu Li. On August 9, 2017, as the key project of "New Urbanization Promotion Year" in Junan County, the upgrading and reconstruction project of Huaihai Road in Junan County officially started construction.
According to "People’s Republic of China (PRC) National Standard Barrier-free Design Code" (hereinafter referred to as "Design Code"), there are two types of blind roads. One is the marching blind road, which is strip-shaped, and its function is to guide visually impaired people to walk safely and reach barrier-free facilities smoothly; The other is the cue blind road, which is dot-shaped, and is mostly located at the starting point, ending point and corner of the traveling blind road. The cue blind road can inform the visually impaired that the spatial environment of the route ahead will change. The width of the traveling blind road and the prompting blind road should be 0.3-0.6m. The blind road should be continuous, and there should be no obstacles such as telephone poles, stay wires and trees in the middle. The distance between blind roads and obstacles should be 0.25—0.5m.
However, on the newly laid blind road on Huaihai Road, no matter the main traffic intersections, or the intersections of communities and units, there is no dot-shaped warning blind road, and a traveling blind road is directly disconnected after being laid at the intersection.
On the afternoon of 17th, the reporter contacted He Kechang, the urban construction management section of the Housing and Construction Bureau of Junan County. He Kechang said that the road upgrading and reconstruction project of Huaihai Road in Junan County had not been completed, and the project supervision company and the Housing and Construction Bureau had discovered the problems related to the blind road in time, which were caused by the construction mistakes of the construction company Shandong Dongfang Road and Bridge Construction Corporation. They had ordered the company to rework it in strict accordance with the requirements.
The project started on August 9, 2017, and the planned construction period is 100 days. As of October 17, 2018, it took more than one year. Why hasn’t the project been completed yet? He Kechang introduced that the construction was delayed mainly due to the influence of the construction consumables market and seasons, and there is no accurate time for the completion period.
At 14: 50 on the 18th, the reporter interviewed Shandong Dongfang Road and Bridge Construction Corporation. A staff member surnamed Liu in the administrative department said that after implementation, they strictly followed the engineering drawings and there was no problem with the blind road on Huaihai Road.
