On Feb 21 (the last day of the Spring Festival holiday), the expressway transport system in Hunan province is under continuous pressure with traffic volume increasing rapidly.
According to the Hunan Provincial Highway Traffic Police Station, the peak Spring Festival travel period fell on Feb 20 and 21 when travelers returned to work. On these two days, Hunan’s expressway transport system faced increasing pressure. The rainy weather also had bad impact on the expressway transport. And traffic control will be implemented in toll gates in G5513, G4, G60 and G55.
According to Traffic Police Station, the provincial expressway traffic will gradually return to normal level after the end of the peak travel period. Traffic police warned that traffic volume remained big in main expressway sections though the traffic volume fell substantially compared with two days before.
During the Spring Festival holiday, Hunan expressway network is in a stable condition and there is no heavy traffic jam. The total traffic volume of expressways in the whole province from Feb 15 (the Lunar New Year's Eve) to Feb 21 is expected to exceed 23 million vehicles.
