Recently, at the Jiangsu Provincial Transportation Work Conference, the province clarified its transportation infrastructure construction target for this year, with a planned total investment of up to 220 billion yuan. This major initiative aims to further improve and upgrade the transportation network within Jiangsu Province to meet the growing transportation demand and promote regional economic development.

In terms of railway construction, Jiangsu will focus on accelerating the improvement of the railway network, especially to ensure the smooth completion of important lines such as the Jiangsu section of the Shanghai-Suhu Railway. This will help enhance the transportation connectivity between Jiangsu and its neighboring regions, promote the flow of people and goods, and provide strong support for the development of regional integration.

At the same time, in the field of highway construction, Jiangsu will launch seven reconstruction and expansion projects such as Guangling Junction to Jingjiang Junction of Beijing-Shanghai Expressway. The implementation of these projects will effectively ease the traffic pressure on the existing road sections, improve the highway capacity and service level, and provide the public with a more convenient and safe travel experience.

In addition, Jiangsu also strives to start the construction of Lianyungang Port 300,000-ton waterway expansion project. The construction of this project will further enhance the handling capacity and international competitiveness of Lianyungang Port and inject new impetus into the foreign trade and economic development of Jiangsu province and even the whole Yangtze River Delta region.

In the field of aviation, Jiangsu will actively promote the preliminary work of Nanjing Lukou Airport Phase III project and other projects. This will help enhance the air transport capacity and service level of Nanjing Lukou Airport, consolidate its position as a regional aviation hub, and provide a strong guarantee for the air transport needs of Jiangsu and its surrounding areas.

In general, these measures in the construction of transportation infrastructure in Jiangsu Province will strongly promote the improvement and upgrading of the provincial transportation system, and provide a solid foundation for economic and social development. At the same time, it will also bring more convenient and efficient travel experience to the public, and improve people's quality of life and happiness. Editor/Xu Shengpeng
