"民心桥"连通"天然鱼市" 暖民众心田 中新网佛山11月20日电 题："民心桥"连通"天然鱼市" 暖民众心田 作者 王坚 孙晨林 每天15时50分，在佛山市顺德水道的龙翔大桥下游段，广航局顺德水道项目部的安全主管小陈和两名同 事提前来到河堤围蔽处。他们熟练地移开一部分绿色金属网，拉起警戒带，摆好三把大型遮阳伞和若干 塑料凳，最后从项目部搬来一箱清凉饮料。 10分钟后，第一批渔民驾着小船靠岸，岸边渐渐聚集起买菜的村民。"开渔咯！"吆喝声、问价声、欢笑 声顿时让这个临时码头热闹起来。 顺德水道扩能升级工程是广东省重点水运项目，对提升珠江三角洲航运能力具有重要意义。按照施工规 划，龙翔工区需对一段3公里的河堤进行围蔽，确保施工安全。 然而，问题随之而来。被围蔽的河堤内侧，有一片小小的亲水平台，这里一直是周边村民世代使用 的"天然鱼市"。每天下午，渔民在此靠岸交易，售卖刚从顺德水道内捕来的鲜鱼，尤其是肥美的"和顺 鱼"，更是周边居民秋季餐桌上不可或缺的一道美味。 "围蔽网一拦，卖鱼的、买鱼的都要绕很远的路，非常不方便。"村民崔老伯说："最关键是，渔船没法 靠岸，鱼市就要散喽。" 尽管项目部设立了警示牌，但习惯了在此交 ...

Core Viewpoint - The completion of the Three Gorges New Channel will significantly enhance logistics in the upper, middle, and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, facilitating smoother water transport and greater demand, thereby benefiting the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt [1][3]. Group 1: Project Overview - The National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) has approved the feasibility study report for the Three Gorges Waterway New Channel project, which is set to commence construction within this year [1][2]. - The project represents the largest comprehensive engineering plan on the Yangtze River, integrating water conservancy, navigation, and ecological functions, with a static total investment of approximately 766 billion yuan and a total construction period of 100 months (excluding a 12-month preparatory period) [2][3]. Group 2: Strategic Importance - The Three Gorges New Channel is crucial for addressing navigation bottlenecks at the Three Gorges and Gezhouba hubs, thereby enhancing the overall connectivity of various transportation modes along the Yangtze River [3][7]. - The project is expected to promote economic and social development in the regions along the Yangtze River, aligning with the strategic goals of the Yangtze River Economic Belt [2][3]. Group 3: Economic Impact - The new channel will facilitate smoother logistics connections between upstream regions (such as Chongqing, Sichuan, Yunnan, and Guizhou) and downstream areas, as well as coastal regions and international markets, ultimately reducing logistics costs and improving efficiency [3][7]. - The construction of the new channel is anticipated to significantly enhance the logistics capacity and demand in the Yangtze River Economic Belt, which accounts for nearly half of the national economic output [7]. Group 4: Historical Context - The Three Gorges Ship Lock has seen a substantial increase in traffic since its opening in June 2003, with cumulative freight volume surpassing 2.2 billion tons by March 2025, indicating a saturation of its current capacity [4][5]. - The need for the new channel has been underscored by the increasing operational load on the Three Gorges Ship Lock, which has faced congestion issues due to rising shipping volumes over the past decade [5][6].
