加快建设交通强国实现良好开局

Core Viewpoint - The "14th Five-Year Plan" period has seen significant improvements in China's transportation capabilities and service quality, marking a strong start towards building a transportation powerhouse [2][3]. Infrastructure Development - By the end of 2024, China's railway operating mileage is expected to reach 162,000 kilometers, an increase of approximately 16,000 kilometers from the end of the "13th Five-Year Plan," with high-speed rail increasing by 10,000 kilometers [3]. - The total length of highways will reach 5,490,000 kilometers, an increase of about 290,000 kilometers, including an increase of 30,000 kilometers in expressways [3]. - The navigable length of high-grade waterways will reach 17,600 kilometers, an increase of 1,600 kilometers [3]. - The number of port berths for vessels over 10,000 tons will reach 2,971, an increase of 379 [3]. - The number of certified civil aviation transport airports will reach 263, an increase of 22 [3]. Global Connectivity - Major projects such as the China-Laos Railway, the China-Russia Heihe Highway Bridge, and the Peru Chancay Port have been completed, enhancing global transportation connectivity [3]. - The China-Europe Railway Express has operated over 110,000 trains, and the annual operation of the new western land-sea corridor's sea-rail intermodal trains has approached 10,000 [3]. Transportation Efficiency - On average, about 180 million people travel across regions daily, with 160 million tons of goods transported and 478 million express parcels collected each day [4]. - Urban rail transit operating mileage is approximately 11,000 kilometers, ranking first in the world, while the total length of urban public transport lines has increased by 48.5% and 18.3% respectively compared to the end of the "13th Five-Year Plan" [4]. - The turnover of railway and waterway freight has increased by 17.5% and 33.6% respectively [4]. - Logistics costs for the entire society have been reduced by over 400 billion yuan, with transportation costs decreasing by approximately 280 billion yuan [4]. Technological Advancements - China's high-speed rail, roads, bridges, ports, and express delivery services have become prominent "Chinese business cards" [5]. - Major engineering projects such as the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Bridge have set multiple world records, and significant technological achievements have emerged from projects like the Pinglu Canal and Xiaoyangshan North Container Terminal [5]. - Over 4,000 kilometers of highways have undergone intelligent upgrades, and the automated terminal construction is leading globally in scale, operational efficiency, and technology [5]. Rural Transportation Development - The "Four Good Rural Roads" initiative has seen over 4.9 trillion yuan invested in rural road fixed assets and over 1.2 trillion yuan in maintenance funds since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China [6]. - By the end of 2024, the total length of rural roads is expected to reach 4,640,000 kilometers, significantly improving rural connectivity [6]. - The initiative has enhanced rural living conditions, supported the construction of beautiful villages, and contributed to local economic development [6].
