General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: "It is necessary to build more and more advanced aviation hubs and a more complete comprehensive transportation system, and accelerate the construction of a strong transportation country."
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core, my country's transportation industry has made historic achievements and undergone historic changes. Towards a transportation powerhouse.
Adhere to traffic first, comprehensive three-dimensional traffic network is increasingly perfect
Since the beginning of this year, the construction of major transportation projects in various places has been non-stop, and the "progress bar" has been constantly refreshed——
In the North China Plain, the expressway will be speeded up to form a network.
The construction site of the Zunqin section of the Beijing-Qinda Expressway is in full swing, construction machinery is working intensively, and heavy trucks shuttle back and forth, and strive to be completed by the end of this year.
The coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei has accelerated the integration of transportation in the three places.
On the coast of the South China Sea, the construction of cross-sea passages is busy.
The immersed tunnel has completed the sinking and laying of 24 pipe sections, the construction of the east and west artificial islands is progressing in an orderly manner, and the Lingdingyang Bridge is under construction on the upper structure... After the opening of the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Passage, it will be a "one-hour life" for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. "Circle" to add a new shortcut channel.
Snow-covered plateau, the Sichuan-Tibet Railway continues to extend.
The construction of this project with the most complex topographic and geological conditions in the history of railway construction in the world started at the end of last year, and the construction climax was formed in the first quarter of this year.
After the project is completed, it will inject strong momentum into the economic and social development of the western region, especially Sichuan and Tibet provinces.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the national comprehensive three-dimensional transportation network with railways as the backbone, highways as the foundation, and the comparative advantages of civil aviation and water transportation has been accelerated to improve, which has established the framework for the development of a major country.
Roads are getting denser.
