Building a strong country with transportation first, Sichuan Province recently announced the transportation development plan for the 14th Five-Year Plan. On November 26, Kou Xiaobing, the chief planner of the Sichuan Provincial Department of Transportation, visited the online interview website of the Sichuan Provincial Government to interpret the "Fourteenth Five-Year Plan" of Sichuan Province. "Comprehensive Transportation Development Plan" (hereinafter referred to as "Plan"), and answer the questions that the majority of netizens are concerned about.

Wide coverage of high-speed rail and high-speed extension to mountainous areas to build comprehensive transportation

"Express Network" As of the end of 2020, there are still 12 cities (prefectures) in Sichuan that do not have high-speed railways. The "Plan" adds four cities: Zigong, Luzhou, Nanchong, and Bazhong. What is the progress of each?

Kou Xiaobing introduced that during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, Sichuan will speed up the implementation of the Chengdu-Yuzhong Line, Chengziyi, Yukun, Chengdawan, Hanbanan and other high-speed railways expected by the masses, focusing on expanding the coverage of high-speed railways. About 1300 kilometers. Among them, the inner-Zilu section of the Mianlu High-speed Railway was opened to traffic in June 2021, covering Zigong and Luzhou 2 cities; the Nanchong-Bazhong section of the Hanbanan Railway is under construction at a design speed of 250 km/h, and the mileage in Sichuan is under construction. About 148 kilometers, it is expected to be completed and put into operation during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period. After completion, the Nanchong-Bazhong-Tong high-speed railway will be realized.

Some netizens asked, when will Ganzi and Aba pass through the high-speed rail? Are there any relevant plans at present?

"According to the railway industry standards, it is generally believed that only railways with a design speed of 200 kilometers per hour or more per hour for existing routes or new routes with a design speed of 250 kilometers per hour per hour or more are considered high-speed railways. (2016-2030)", currently there is no plan to deploy high-speed railways in Ganzi and Aba. However, during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, there were major railway construction projects in both Ganzi and Aba prefectures.

Among them, the Chenglan (Chengdu to Lanzhou, designed speed 200km/h) railway will be fully completed, the Xicheng (Xining to Chengdu, designed speed 200km/h) railway will accelerate the construction, and the Chengge (Chengdu to Golmud) railway will also be completed as soon as possible. Conduct program demonstration. In addition, the province’s expressway construction will extend to Ganzi and Aba. The expressways of Juma, Jiumian, and Lushi will be completed and open to traffic during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period. The construction of major expressway projects such as Kangding to Xindu Bridge will be accelerated. , The major western expressways from Xinduqiao to Batang are speeding up the preliminary work. At the same time, a batch of common national and provincial highway projects will be upgraded.

From a long-term perspective, by 2035, the province’s "fast network" coverage rate will reach 98.9%. With the exception of a few counties, it will fully enjoy rapid traffic services in the form of high-speed railways, expressways, and civil aviation.

With wide coverage of charging piles and improved quality of national and provincial roads, roads will be greener and safer

Some netizens said that the purchase of new energy vehicles is now advocated. From the perspective of economic cost and environmental protection, this is a good thing, but there are too few charging facilities. How will the coverage of charging equipment be improved in the future?

Kou Xiaobing said that in March 2021, the Sichuan Provincial Department of Transportation issued and implemented the "Sichuan Province 2021-2025 Green Travel "Endurance Project" Implementation Plan", and systematically planned the province's expressway service area and other stations and supporting infrastructure for charging. The construction goals and key tasks have been clarified that by 2025, the charging facilities will cover more than 80% of the expressway service area and more than 50% of the highway passenger transport terminal, and gradually promote the Chengdu-Chongqing Expressway, Yurong Expressway, and other major Chengdu-Chongqing corridors. Demonstrate the construction of hydrogen corridors, and coordinate the improvement of charging and replacement (electricity) and hydrogen refueling facilities in service areas along the route.

There are also many netizens who are concerned about "how to repair and renovate national and provincial highways to improve travel capacity." According to reports, in order to improve the operating efficiency of the province’s highway network, during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, the province plans to rebuild 9,000 kilometers of national and provincial trunk roads, and strive to achieve a 95 %, the province’s general provincial highways account for 65% of the third-level and above highways; all levels of finance plan to invest more than 20 billion funds for the maintenance of the province’s national and provincial trunk highways, and plan to implement 10,000 kilometers of ordinary national and provincial highways. , The rate of good roads on ordinary national roads remains above 85%, and the rate of good roads on ordinary provincial roads reaches 80%.

At the same time, with the focus on the intrinsic safety of infrastructure, the transformation of 424 ordinary national and provincial highways was implemented, and all ordinary national and provincial highways in the province were basically cancelled. Deal with the newly discovered Type IV and Type V bridges to improve highway safety protection capabilities. Editor/Xu Shengpeng
