The State Council approved the first “National Highway Network Plan†and plans to build 85,000 km of expressways in 30 years, covering 1 billion people. This news yesterday, Minister of Communications Zhang Chunxian announced at the news conference of the State Council Information Office held that China’s first “ The National Highway Network Plan was formally approved by the State Council. According to this plan, China will form a national highway network of 85,000 kilometers within 30 years. The new road network consists of 7 capital cities, 9 north-south vertical lines, and 18 east-west horizontal lines, as well as 5 regional loops, 2 parallel lines, and 30 links. Among the seven capital cities, highways from Beijing to Taipei are attracting attention. In response to a reporter’s question, Zhang Chunxian stated that the prerequisite for the construction of the highway is the realization of three links on both sides of the strait. It may connect the two sides of the highway network through submarine tunnels. In addition, the construction of Beijing to Urumqi, Beijing to Lhasa is also a new highlight of this highway. It is understood that the planned route will connect all major transportation hub cities in the country, including 50 railway hubs, 67 aviation hubs, 140 highway hubs, and 50 waterway hubs. After the completion of the project, all cities with a population of more than 200,000 in China will be connected by highways, covering a population of one billion people. The average will be 30 minutes on the high speed in the eastern region, and the high speed will be 1 hour on average in the central region, and the average speed will be 2 hours in the western region. Travel quickly. In the western region, an average of 30 minutes in the high-speed eastern region can be seen on the national expressway layout within 2 hours. Beijing in the capital is between Urumqi, Beijing, and Lhasa, and 18 east-west routes connect the central and western regions to the east. The integration has greatly accelerated the exchanges between the eastern coast and the central and western regions. According to the plan, the completion of these road networks will achieve an average speed of 30 minutes in the eastern region, an average of one hour in the central region, and an average of two hours in the western region. It is estimated that it will take 30 years to complete the planning target of 85,000 kilometers of expressways. The construction tasks in the future are mainly concentrated in the central and western regions. The Minister of Communications Zhang Chunxian stated that according to the plan, by the end of 2005, 35,000 kilometers had been built, accounting for more than 40% of the total mileage. As regards the amount of investment, the static investment in the entire expressway network is approximately 2 trillion yuan. It is planned to be completed in 30 years. Before 2010, the average annual investment will be between 140 billion and 150 billion yuan, and the annual increase will be about 3,000 kilometers. Between 2010 and 2020, the average annual investment is about 100 billion yuan. Zhang Chunxian said that these funds mainly come from the central vehicle purchase tax, local regulations, national debt funds, bank loans, domestic capital, and foreign capital, including social funds. From the current situation, funds are guaranteed. Zhang Xiaoqiang, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, also said that although the country is currently implementing a prudent fiscal policy and adopts a strategy of “preserving pressureâ€, the construction of expressway networks is a “guarantee†aspect. The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge has been planned to form a circular highway network with Hong Kong-Macao and Guangzhou-Shenzhen etc. Yesterday, Minister of Communications Zhang Chunxian pointed out at the press conference that the current planning network is also connected to Hong Kong and Macau, that is, seven capital extension lines. Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao Expressway. The reporter saw from the layout of the national highway network. The expressway departed from Beijing and passed through Shijiazhuang, Zhengzhou, Wuhan, Changsha, and Guangzhou. Finally, Guangzhou used the extension line as its endpoint. Two extension lines were sent out, one from Guangzhou to Zhuhai. ), connecting Macau via the Zhuhai-Macao Bridge. Another from Guangzhou to Shenzhen (completed) is connected to Hong Kong. Zhang Chunxian revealed that the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, which is of great interest to Hong Kong and Macau, is precisely part of the highway planning. The reporter clearly saw from the layout of the National Expressway Network that a thin line of gray and yellow will link Zhuhai, Macau and Hong Kong together. Officials of the Ministry of Transport said that this is the Hong Kong-Macau Bridge to be built soon. In response, Zhang Chunxian said that this kind of connection is conducive to the prosperity and stability of Hong Kong, is conducive to the reduction of Hong Kong's own logistics costs, and is also conducive to the integration of Hong Kong, Macao, the Pearl River Delta, and even the Mainland economy. The Mainland and Taiwan Expressway will connect Beijing to build high-speed roads in Lhasa and Urumqi. Yesterday, for the expressway between Beijing and Taipei, which is of great concern to Chinese and foreign media, the Minister of Communications Zhang Chunxian stated at a press conference that after the realization of the “three links†across the Strait, The 85,000-kilometer freeway in Mainland China will be connected with the highway network in Taiwan. The reporter saw from the national expressway layout plan provided by the Ministry of Communications that the expressway from Beijing to Taipei is an extension of the Beijing-Fuzhou Expressway that is currently under construction. In this scheme, a striking red line passes through the Taiwan Strait. It is understood that on this map, the red line represents the capital radiation, that is, starting from Beijing and divergence to seven provincial capitals such as Taipei and Lhasa. However, what is the red line used to express in the Taiwan Strait, that is, the way to connect Fuzhou and Taipei on both sides of the Taiwan Straits, said Zhang Chunxian, “It may be connected to this network first through some mode of transport. In the future, tunnels or other Works to connect Taiwan's highway network.". Zhang Chunxian said that the precondition for the freeway to get Beijing to Taipei is to realize the "three links" between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. Regarding the significance of Beijing-Taipei Expressway, Zhang Chunxian believed that the main significance lies in the connection of logistics. Taiwan, Hong Kong and the Mainland, if the logistics is smooth and the cost is reduced, will be an important aspect of enhancing international competitiveness and an important aspect of improving the quality of life of each individual.
