"The county -level administrative center of the city and urban area of ​​100,000 counties on the city -level administrative center on the country is 30 minutes on the national highway. All county -level administrative centers are on ordinary national highway for 15 minutes, which is convenient to serve the whole country." The National Development and Reform Commission foundation Zhou Xiaoqi, deputy director of the Facilities Development Department, said at the press conference of the National Highway Network Planning recently held that the completion of the National Highway Network will further strengthen its support for the development of urban agglomerations and urban areas, and better serve regional development strategies and regional development strategies and regional development strategies and regional development strategies and regional development strategies. New urbanization.

A few days ago, the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Transport issued the National Highway Network Plan to carry out the overall layout of the national highway network from 2035. At that time, the total number of highways in the country is expected to be 461,000 kilometers, of which about 162,000 kilometers of highways in the country (including about 8,000 kilometers including the vision of the vision), and the general national highway is about 299,000 kilometers. Intelligent, safe and reliable modern high -quality national highway network.

As of the end of 2021, my country's national highway has been built with 124,000 kilometers, which has basically covered the prefecture -level administrative center; the mileage of ordinary national roads has reached 258,000 kilometers, which basically covers the county -level and above administrative regions and the border ports that are opened all year round. Under scientific planning and guidance, the construction of the National Highway Network effectively solved the fundamental problem of "walking".

However, most of the previously introduced planning focuses on the highway network itself, focusing on solving the high -stage contradictions of the fair supply of highway infrastructure, and less consideration for the enhancement of national highway layout and regional economic and social development according to local conditions. The specific manifestations of the main channel are insufficient, the urban agglomeration urban circle regional networks are insufficient, the depth of the road network covers is insufficient, the road network toughness and safety emergency guarantee capabilities need to be improved, the integration of the integration of the unique connection with other transportation methods, the resource saving resource conservation The level of intensive use and green smart development is not high.

"In order to make up for the shortcomings of the above shortcomings, we are required to start from the planning level, start from the long -term development of the country, optimize and improve the layout of the national highway network, and guide the high -quality construction of the national highway." Wei said.

Compared with the 2013 version, this round of "Planning" has increased the total highway by about 60,000 kilometers. "Under the new layout, the overall coverage of the National Highway Network is from medium and above cities with a population of more than 200,000 in the urban population and further extended to cities and counties with a population of more than 100,000 in urban areas. The connection of important scenic spots. "Zhou Xiaoqi pointed out that the" Planning "will further support the high level of national opening to the public, realize the national highway comprehensive connection of the land border port, and form a number of convenient highway international transportation with Northeast Asia, Central Asia, South Asia, and ASEAN Great channel.

Infrastructure is an important support for economic and social development, and national highway construction has achieved outstanding results. Since the "Thirteenth Five -Year Plan", my country's highway construction investment accounts for approximately 2.4%of GDP. The proportion of national highway construction investment accounted for about 36%of highway construction investment, which has a significant role in stable investment and stable growth.

Zhou Xiaoqi introduced that from the perspective of the future construction needs of the national highway, according to the calculation, there are still about 28,000 kilometers of the national highway to build a road section, and about 30,000 kilometers of busy sections need to be expanded. And transformation, "The future construction tasks are still heavy, and national highway construction will continue to play a key role in pulling effective investment and provide strong support for stabilizing the economic market."

For how to play the role of highway transportation on the development of the real economy, Wang Songbo, deputy director of the Comprehensive Planning Department of the Ministry of Transport, said that the completion of the road network will be deeply integrated with the in -depth integration of related industries such as tourism, manufacturing, logistics, and e -commerce along the line. Development, guide the optimization of regional industrial layout, and promote the smooth operation of the industrial chain supply chain. In addition, the construction of the highway network brings a "channel economy". By strengthening the service functions such as highway culture, tourism, leisure, etc., it can better meet people's leisure tourism needs.

Regarding the problem of high -profile construction funds, the "Plan" emphasizes the strict control of local government debt risks, reasonably determines the scale and rhythm of construction, establish and improve the monitoring mechanism of highway debt risk, and strictly control the scale of new projects in the region. At the same time, multi -channel, multi -level, and diversified investment and financing models are promoted.

Zhou Xiaoqi said, "We must encourage social capital to participate in national highway construction on the basis of implementing the responsibility of the right to expending the rights and strengthening fiscal funding. Fully activate. " (Reporter Ji Wenhui)
