The construction and operation of highways has a significant impact
on the environment. While such impact is impossible to avoid,
modern highways are constructed and landscaped to minimise these
impacts as far as possible. Good landscaping minimises the impact
on those living or working close to the highway, while at the same
time regenerating the natural landscape disturbed during
construction. Using as its background the successful landscape
design of the Nanjing-Hangzhou Expressway in Jiangsu Province,
China, which opened to traffic in 2007, Highway Landscape Design
includes reference to all aspects of the landscaping of highways,
including interchanges, embankments, central reservations, bridges,
service and toll station areas, and drainage systems. Appropriate
consideration is given to the negative impact on the surrounding
environment during the process of construction and it discusses the
ecological evaluation and conservation strategy for the highway
route. China is in some respects at the forefront of highway
landscape design as a result of rapid growth and development
coupled with the financial resources to implement major
infrastructure works, and the concepts, technologies and methods
developed for this Expressway provide valuable experience for
sustainable development strategies for such infrastructure.
