In the context of accelerating the construction of a strong transportation country, investment in transportation infrastructure has continued to expand. The construction of the high-speed railway between Chengdu and Shanghai along the Yangtze River, the implementation of the waterway level upgrading project of the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River, the deepening of the preliminary demonstration of the new Three Gorges waterway, and the construction of 14 international gateways including Wuhan. The Comprehensive Transportation System Development Plan (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan") was released, and the authors found that in this beautiful China "traffic meticulous painting", a large number of key transportation projects involving Hubei will be planned and constructed.

"Iron Shui Gongkong" multi-project selected

According to the "Planning", by 2025, China's comprehensive transportation will basically achieve integrated and integrated development, with substantial breakthroughs in intelligence and greening, and transportation development will reach a world-class level.

According to the "Planning", in terms of building a high-quality comprehensive three-dimensional transportation network, China will focus on the central and western regions to accurately fill in the shortcomings of the network, and a number of plans will benefit Hubei. In terms of improving the comprehensive transportation corridor, the functions of the corridors from Beijing to Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan will be improved, and 6 strategic backbone corridors will be constructed, among which the corridors along the river include a series of projects involving Hubei Province: the construction of the high-speed railway from Chengdu, Chongqing to Shanghai; the implementation of the main channel of the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River. The level upgrading project systematically relieves the bottleneck constraints of the Three Gorges Hub, deepens the preliminary demonstration of the new Three Gorges waterway; expands and transforms expressways such as the Wuhan-Huangshi section of the Shanghai-Chongqing Expressway.

A hub is an intersection of a transportation network that includes multiple modes of transportation. According to the "Planning", Hubei and Wuhan are listed as important comprehensive transportation hubs in China. The key projects for the construction of national comprehensive transportation hubs include enhancing the role of Wuhan and other 14 hub cities as international gateways, improving the hub planning of 5 cities including Wuhan, and constructing the west of Wuhan. There are 8 comprehensive passenger terminal stations including the station.

In terms of modern railway network, the construction of high-speed railways from Xiantao to Jianli (general speed) via Honghu Lake, Xiangyang to Changde, Xi'an to Shiyan, Fuyang to Huanggang, etc. In terms of highways, the busy and congested sections of national expressways such as Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao and Fuyin will be expanded. In terms of water transportation, improve the high-grade waterway network of inland rivers such as the Yangtze River, and study and promote the improvement of waterways from Yibin to Chongqing and Yichang to Wuhan on the main line of the Yangtze River; in aviation, implement Wuhan and other regional hub airport reconstruction and expansion projects to build a professional cargo airport in Ezhou.

A number of transportation projects connecting Hubei and neighboring provinces will be advanced, including the implementation of the construction of inter-provincial expressways such as the Ankang-Laifeng Expressway, the Chongqing-Ejie-Jianshi section, the promotion of National Highway 107 (via Xiaogan, Wuhan, Xianning), and National Highway 207 (via Xiangyang, Jingmen, Jingzhou), National Highway 220 (via Huanggang), National Highway 347 (via Huanggang, Xiaogan, Tianmen, Jingmen and Nanzhang, Yichang) were renovated and expanded, and construction of Wujiagang to Dianjun Mountain and other dual-use river crossing channels.

"Nine Provinces Expressway" Ushers in New Opportunities

One of the important goals of the "Planning" is to consolidate the basic support for the coordinated development of urban and rural areas. The "Planning" proposes to rely on the golden waterway of the Yangtze River, and promote the overall design of the construction of the comprehensive transportation system in the Yangtze River Economic Belt, and strengthen the capacity of high-speed railways and railway freight along the Yangtze River; build an integrated transportation network for urban agglomerations around cities in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River; promote expressways in the Wuhan metropolitan area Ring line construction to build a commuter transportation network in the metropolitan area.

In terms of smart transportation, implement the construction project to improve the service capabilities of digital waterways such as the Yangtze River trunk line, and carry out digital waterway smart service integration in typical sections of the Yangtze River trunk line such as the Three Gorges Dam area.

Hubei is in the geometric center of China's economic rhombus, and the east-west and north-south backbone traffic lines meet in Wuhan. According to Tao Dexin, a professor at Wuhan University of Technology, the "Planning" further highlights Hubei's "Tianyuan" status in the national comprehensive three-dimensional transportation network. It is a major opportunity for Hubei to build a "motherland overpass" and build an integrated and agglomerated comprehensive transportation hub.

According to reports, as part of the high-speed railway along the river, the construction of the Hubei section of the Shanghai-Chongqing high-speed railway along the Yangtze River, which was first started in September last year, will be further accelerated. As for the Xi'an-Shiyan high-speed rail project, with the construction of the Shiyan-Xi'an section starting at the end of last year, the "14th Five-Year Plan" period will be completed within 2 hours from Wuhan to Xi'an.

It is reported that the G4 (Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao) Expressway from Hubei to Junshan is a "bottleneck", which means that the northern section of Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao Expressway, which has invested more than 20 billion yuan to renovate and expand, will usher in "four changes to eight" this year. "The construction boom. In addition, the "Planning" includes the Anhui Wuwei to Yuexi section of the Shanghai-Wuhan Expressway into the key project of highway network construction, which indicates that a new expressway will be added from Hubei Tuanfeng, Luotian, Yingshan to Shanghai in the future. Keywords: infrastructure, infrastructure construction, domestic engineering news, planning and investment

According to the Provincial Department of Transportation, Hubei has been included in the first batch of pilot provinces in the country to become a powerful country in transportation. At present, Hubei Province has clearly entered the national planning of highway and waterway projects with an investment scale of more than 300 billion yuan, and 17 passenger transport hub projects including Wuhan West have entered the national "14th Five-Year" comprehensive transportation hub special plan, ranking first in the country.
