文摘The highway construction inevitably may cause certain influence to the cultural heritage and the natural environment along the route, particularly in design stage; if the route selection is unreasonable, it will certainly impact the natural resource seriously along the route.

At last, the paper introduces the effect of applying the indexes to select route of Chang-Ji freeway.
