In the past ten years, Zhuhai has not only participated in the construction of "Dawan district on rail", but also moved towards the goal of "rail transit center on the West Bank of the Pearl River Estuary".

After a decade of hard work, Zhuhai airport is about to open the era of "double terminal", and the construction of the main channel of Gaolan Port with a capacity of 200000 tons continues to advance.

At present, Zhuhai is paying close attention to the planning and construction of three strategic channels, namely, the Shenzhen China channel connecting line, the West extension line of Hong Kong Zhuhai Macao Bridge, and the urban rail loop line. Relying on the full elements of "sea, land and air rail", Zhuhai is upgrading its transportation infrastructure in an all-round way, striving to build a multi-level, hub type and network-based comprehensive three-dimensional transportation system, and pressing the "fast forward key" for the construction of a national comprehensive transportation hub.

From "three horizontal and five vertical" to "eight horizontal and eleven vertical"

We should plan the situation and know the situation first. The development planning outline of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao Bay area was issued in 2019, which clearly defined the construction of world-class urban agglomerations. It is required to build regional economic development axis by relying on the rapid transportation network, port group and airport cluster with high-speed railway, intercity railway and high-grade highway as the main body, and form a network spatial pattern of efficient connection between major cities.

In 2020, the "one horizontal and one vertical" two major travel channels in Zhuhai, Honghe bridge and Jinqin express line, will be officially opened to traffic. Almost at the same time, the main works of Zhuhai tunnel and Huangmaohai cross sea channel are under construction. Zhuhai transportation has initially handed over an answer sheet of good planning and good deeds.

In the past ten years, the rise of a round of transportation infrastructure construction war is the strategic result of Zhuhai's breakthrough and leapfrog development. Since Zhuhai bridge was opened to traffic in 1993, there is only one passageway across Modaomen waterway of Xijiang River for a long time. The framework of mega city has been fully opened, and it is urgent to build a new channel. With the opening of the Hong Kong Zhuhai Macao Bridge in 2018, Zhuhai's mission is to make good use of the bridge and speed up the construction of the bridge economic zone.

Those who come and can't be lost are also in time; If you can't miss it, it's time. The Hong Kong Zhuhai Macao Bridge, Shenzhong passage and Huangmaohai cross sea channel are quietly forming, and Zhuhai is in the geographical center of this corridor.

Facing the rare opportunity of traffic construction, Zhuhai has continuously optimized the urban development pattern, further widened the urban development framework and strengthened the urban functions. During the 13th Five Year Plan period, Zhuhai promoted the completion and opening of new tunnels of Hong Kong Zhuhai Macao Bridge, Honghe bridge, Jinqin express line and Banzhangshan tunnel, forming a "three horizontal and five vertical" regional road grid Bureau.

Those who are good at scheming will go far. The Ninth Party Congress of Zhuhai City clearly focused on the construction of "eight horizontal and eleven vertical" high-speed backbone road network. In order to further organize a high-speed road network with internal connection and external expansion, Xianghai bridge and its branch line will be opened to traffic this year. Construction of the West extension of Xianghai bridge will be vigorously promoted. Jinhai bridge is expected to be ready for traffic next year.

The Jinhai bridge is expected to be open to traffic next year

In addition, Zhuhai will promote the expansion of Gaolan Port Expressway and the construction of the north extension line, coordinate and promote the second phase construction of the outer ring expressway in Shandong Province, realize the rapid docking with the Shenzhen China corridor, and coordinate and promote the South extension line of China Shanxi outer ring expressway connecting with Honghe bridge and the reconstruction and expansion of Nansha Zhuhai Section of Guang'ao expressway. Zhuhai plans to have 271 kilometers of expressways open to traffic by the end of the 14th five year plan.

Thinking determines the way out. In order to transform the location advantage into the development advantage, when the whole city is making great efforts to fight the hard battle of industrial development, the traffic infrastructure builders carry forward the practical spirit of "being practical, only doing first, and good at planning and doing well". They work hard and do not indolence, support the industrial development with traffic promotion, and undertake the radiation spillover of high-end industries and innovation elements in the central city of Dawan district.

Taking the Huangmao sea cross sea channel planned to be completed in 2024 as an example, as the key project of the Hong Kong Zhuhai Macao bridge extending to western Guangdong, in order to shorten the construction time of the main tower and make the project put into operation as soon as possible, the builders have converted the construction of loose binding of steel bars in the air into the integral hoisting construction of component reinforcement.

At the same time, the installation time of each section of steel bar in the main tower is shortened from 4 days to 1 day. To arouse enthusiasm and morale, Zhuhai will build a "3060 urban commuter circle" with 30 minute space-time coverage in the central urban area and 60 minute mutual access between the eastern and western urban areas in the peak period through the construction of a number of high-speed road networks such as the industrial express line.

As the development of "ballast stone", major projects are being pushed forward. At the same time, Zhuhai has also strengthened traffic congestion control, developed urban three-dimensional traffic, dredged road "capillary" microcirculation, and improved urban commuting efficiency.

After the price of the city's regular bus routes was reduced to 1 yuan in 2018, Zhuhai continued to increase public transport investment, so that more citizens can get a better sense of gain and happiness through efficient and economic intensive travel.

The newly issued three-year action plan for comprehensive traffic management in the central city of Zhuhai (2022-2024) systematically formulates 17 key tasks focusing on five aspects: Road supply improvement, travel structure optimization, parking supply optimization, traffic management optimization, and strengthening public participation. New measures for comprehensive traffic management in the central urban area of Zhuhai are frequent.

Airport and seaport to build high quality transportation service system

During the 13th Five Year Plan period, Zhuhai airport has significantly improved its position as a hub, with a passenger throughput of 12.28 million passengers in 2019, which is currently one of the few 10 million level airports in China.

At present, Zhuhai is promoting the reconstruction and expansion project of Zhuhai airport, including the construction of T2 terminal and station apron, taxiway in flight area, etc. The design concept of the whole project is "wing of the bay area, sea and mountain city, Bibo silver shell and Garden Airport".

Among them, terminal T2 is located in the east of the original terminal. After the two terminals operate at the same time, Zhuhai airport will add 28 new seats, and the annual passenger throughput can reach 27.5 million person times.

Now T2 terminal has completed the lifting of steel structure grid, and the supporting Zhuhai Airport comprehensive transportation hub project is in the pile foundation construction stage.

"The fourteenth five year plan" of comprehensive transportation system in Guangdong Province proposes to cultivate Zhuhai and other regional hub airports and strengthen the function of airport transportation hub. The hub airport will introduce rail transit, Zhuhai Jinwan airport plans to introduce Zhuhai Airport intercity railway and Guangfo River Zhuhai Intercity Railway (reserved).

Zhuhai Airport comprehensive transportation hub transfer center (GTC) is under construction. After it is put into operation, passengers can get directly to the terminal through transfer channel after leaving Zhuhai Airport Station.

At the same time, there are more than 3600 parking spaces, which will greatly improve the service capacity of Zhuhai airport. It is expected that the first phase of Zhuhai Airport comprehensive transportation hub will be completed in 2024 with the T2 air exhibition building of Zhuhai airport.

According to the "14th five year plan" for the development of Zhuhai's comprehensive transportation system, the reconstruction and expansion project of Zhuhai airport, the airport comprehensive transportation hub, the airport international intelligent logistics park, the new tower project, the opening of international ports and international routes were completed, and the airport passenger transport support capacity was increased to 27.5 million passengers per year, It is planned to start the second runway expansion and the preliminary work of T3 terminal project.

The second phase project of Lianzhou general airport will be completed, Zhuhai Aviation Development System will be improved, and Zhuhai general aviation comprehensive demonstration area will be built.

In terms of seaport, Zhuhai plans to focus on promoting the construction of Gaolan Port container terminal phase III and Gaolan Port Hong wharf expansion project, promote the construction of Gaolan Port small ship anchorage (5 × 10 Anchorage), Gaolan Port 200000 DWT main channel construction, and further improve the land island transportation facilities.

In addition, Zhuhai will improve the port's collection and distribution conditions, promote the development of comprehensive transportation systems such as "river sea intermodal transport" and "sea rail combined transport", so as to ensure the advantages of Gaolan Port in the collection and distribution of "river sea combined transport".

In terms of improving the transportation facilities on land island, the reconstruction and expansion project of Xiangzhou port passenger terminal will be put into use next year. In the reconstruction and expansion project, the original berths of passenger ships at Xiangzhou port will be reconstructed. At the same time, three berths for 1000 GT passenger ships and one berth for 1000 GT ro ro passenger ships will be built, so that 11 500 ton high-speed passenger ships can be berthed in the port at the same time.

It is estimated that after the completion of the project, the annual passenger throughput of Xiangzhou port will reach 1.8 million. At that time, the traffic conditions and passenger service quality of the land island will be improved to ensure the safe and comfortable travel of island tourists and residents, and promote the economic development of the island.

In addition to Xiangzhou port, the construction of hardware facilities of Tangjia port land island passenger and freight terminal, which is located in the back ring area of high tech Zone, has been basically completed, and the conditions for opening Shenzhen route as soon as possible are expected. At that time, in addition to Hengqin passenger terminal and Jiuzhou passenger port, Zhuhai will add a terminal convenient to and from the East Bank of the Pearl River, further building a water passenger transport network in Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao.

With the improvement of airport and seaport facilities, Zhuhai is also promoting the construction of an efficient freight logistics service system.

The Zhuhai Airport International Intelligent Logistics Park under construction has the largest single multi-layer air cargo terminal in China. After being put into use, it will consolidate the foundation of Zhuhai aviation logistics business facilities, and link with Hong Kong and Macao airports to contribute to building Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao Bay area into a world-class airport group.

In September this year, the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao logistics park project started in Hongwan area of Zhuhai. This unique logistics park close to shuangyixian highway port is expected to be fully operational in early 2024.

To the East, the logistics park will reach Hong Kong within one hour with the help of the Hong Kong Zhuhai Macao bridge connecting line. To the west, it will build an efficient transportation channel with Zhuhai airport, Zhuhai port and Zhuhai west station with the help of the upcoming Jinhai highway bridge and Huangmaohai cross sea channel; At the same time, it radiates to the west of Guangdong and forms the advantage of regional coordinated development by connecting infrastructure.

In the future, it will become a global supply chain service center integrating logistics control, supply chain finance, information consulting and professional services, so as to promote Zhuhai's foreign trade doubling and industrial agglomeration effect.

Strive to build a rail transit center on the West Bank of the Pearl River Estuary

The urban rail loop is one of the three strategic channels for Zhuhai to speed up planning and construction. In 2011, Guangzhou south railway station and Zhuhai north station were opened for operation. Zhuhai bid farewell to the history of no passenger railway with the help of urban rail transit. In 2020, Zhuhai's rail transit mileage will increase again, and the first phase of Zhuhai Zhuhai intercity will be put into operation, and Guangzhou Zhuhai intercity will continue to extend westward, connecting Gongbei, Wanchai, Hengqin and other ports. According to the plan, the scale of Zhuhai railway network will reach 117.8 km at the end of the 14th five year plan.

Around the goal of rail transit center on the West Bank of the Pearl River Estuary, Zhuhai will complete the second phase of Zhuhai Airport intercity railway, and form the "Xiangzhou Hengqin airport" intercity railway corridor, and strive to realize public transportation operation.

In addition, the construction of the 350 km / h Zhuhai Zhaozhou high-speed railway has been started. The Zhuhai Jiangmen section is expected to complete the main structure construction in March next year.

Zhuhai Zhaozhou high speed railway is positioned as a high-speed railway with medium and long-distance passenger flow as the main part and inter city passenger flow of Dawan District into consideration. The line starts from Hezhou, Zhuhai, and reaches Zhaoqing via Jiangmen and Foshan, and connects Guiyang Guangzhou railway and Nanning Guangzhou railway northward, which will realize the rapid connection between the East and west sides of the Pearl River and the southwest region.

Along the high-speed railway, Jiangmen, Hexi, Gaoming, Pearl River Delta airport, Jinli, zhaoqingdong and other stations are connected.

Zhuhai Zhaozhou high-speed railway and the planned Guangzhou Zhuhai (Macao) high-speed railway and other projects will be connected to Zhuhai central station (Hezhou), which is planned to connect to Hengqin by railway eastward.

In addition, projects such as South Pearl River intercity and Guangfo River Zhuhai intercity (Zhuhai airport to Hezhou station section) are also under planning. The construction and operation of high-speed railway and intercity railway will make it possible for major cities in Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao to reach each other within one hour.

Relying on the "sea, land and air rail" elements, the comprehensive upgrading of transportation infrastructure will help Zhuhai to be the bridgehead of the integrated development of Hong Kong and Macao in enriching the practice of "one country, two systems", become an important pole of world-class urban agglomerations in the construction of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao Bay area, and actively radiate in the regional pattern of "one core, one belt and one area" in the whole province, so as to accelerate the development of the West Bank of the Pearl River The regional center, which promotes the integration and interaction between the East and the west, strides forward in the new journey of building socialist modernization in an all-round way.
