Since mid-March this year, the repair and maintenance project of the middle section of S128 Chenhai Highway in Chongming District, Shanghai (from Gangyan Highway in the east to Sanshuang Highway in the west) has officially started. As the focus and highlight of this project, the installation of street lights in the middle section has attracted the attention of the people. Recently, it was learned from the Municipal Road Transport Development Center that the street lights in the middle section of Chenhai Highway have been installed and officially lit up on the evening of December 18.

A total of 893 lamp poles were hoisted and 1,650 lamps were installed in the middle section of Chenhai Highway. Among them, 726 photovoltaic street lights were hoisted, 1,352 photovoltaic lamps were installed, and 4,356 photovoltaic panels were installed. It is the first main traffic artery in Shanghai to set up photovoltaic street lights. Each of the 726 photovoltaic street lights is equipped with 6 photovoltaic panels with a capacity of 310W (watts), making full use of Chongming's light energy resources for photovoltaic power generation. The street lamps are spaced 30 meters apart, and double-pole lamps are used, that is, one lamp pole carries two street lamps to illuminate the road on both sides.

In addition, the repair and maintenance project of the middle section of S128 Chenhai Highway has also been completed. The repair and maintenance project starts from Gangyan Highway in the east and ends at Sanshuang Highway in the west. The route passes through Gangyan Highway, Qianshu Highway, Beixin Highway, Panlong Highway, Jianshe Highway, Gangdong Highway and Sanshuang Highway, with a total length of about 24.5 kilometers. The main construction contents include roads, electricity, intelligent transportation, and transportation facilities. Through the repair and maintenance of the existing road surface along the line, the installation of integrated pole photovoltaic street lamps in the median strip, the deployment of intelligent transportation equipment, and the restoration of related transportation facilities, the service function and level of the east-west backbone channel in Chongming District will be improved and perfected.
