Line trend

The main control points along the Beijing-Lhasa expressway are: Beijing - Zhangjiakou - Ulanqab - Hohhot - Baotou - Bayannur - Wuhai - Shizuishan - Yinchuan - Wuzhong - Zhongwei - Baiyin - Lanzhou - Xining - Golmud - Lhasa. As of August 2021, the Beijing-Tibet Expressway Beijing-Golmud section and the Nagqu - Lhasa section have been opened to traffic, and Golmud - Nagqu is still in the planning stage due to geological conditions and other reasons. Among them Yinchuan to Zhongwei section and Fuzhou-Yinchuan expressway (China National Highway network number: G70 ) Collinear. Part of the planned route is temporarily diverted by the original national highway main line Danla Line.

Technical problem

  • Qinghai-tibet segment
Geographical changes along the way
The Qinghai-Tibet section of the planned Beijing-Tibet Expressway is along the existing Qinghai-Tibet secondary highway corridor, with small topography and relatively flat plateau between Kunlun Mountains and Tanggula Mountains on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The area along the highway belongs to the permafrost area above 4500 meters above sea level in the middle of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The oxygen content of the air is about 50%, the annual solar radiation is about 8000 MJ/m2, the average annual temperature is 0 ° C to -5 ° C, and the environment is harsh. The core problem of this section of the line is permafrost, and its construction needs to overcome the world's engineering problems of building highways on permafrost foundations under the environment of fragile ecology, large temperature difference, long-term negative temperature and strong ultraviolet radiation, and break through the key technical bottlenecks of highway construction in high-altitude and high-cold areas. [3] .
Naqu to Yangbajing high-speed project, facing the seasonal frozen soil freezing in winter and melting in summer, the design and construction should overcome the challenges of subgrade subsidence, pulping, pavement cracking and deformation. For the first time in Tibet, the participating units adopted the composite base asphalt pavement, carried out the layered anti-crack design of the pavement structure, and combined with the optimization of the base grade and the addition of anti-crack functional layer, etc., to solve the highway in the high cold and high altitude area Base shrinkage crack, surface layer freezing crack problem.
