In the context of accelerating the construction of a strong transportation country, investment in the field of transportation infrastructure has continued to expand. On December 9, 2021, a reporter from Jiandao.com learned from the Hubei Provincial Department of Transportation that 17 projects in Hubei Province have entered the national "14th Five-Year Plan" comprehensive transportation hub special plan, and the number of projects ranks first in the country. This means that more transportation projects will enter the national backbone network in the past five years, providing hard support for the construction of new inland open highlands in our province.

These 17 projects are all railway projects, most of which are high-speed railways, including Wuxi, Zhengwan, Wuhang, Wujiu, Huanghuang high-speed railways, etc., involving 11 regions including Wuhan, Xiangyang, Yichang, and Shiyan. Among them, Wuxi high-speed railway Wuhan The West Comprehensive Passenger Transport Hub is a major newly built project. The Wuhan-Xi'an high-speed rail is implemented in sections, and the Han-10 high-speed rail has been opened to traffic. At present, the 86.356-kilometer West-10 high-speed rail Hubei section is under construction and is scheduled to be completed on June 30, 2026. At present, from Wuhan to Xi'an, the high-speed rail needs to pass through Zhengzhou, detouring at right angles, and it takes 4.5 hours at the fastest. After the completion of the Wuxi high-speed rail line, Wuhan-Xi'an will be cut and straightened. The entire line will be a high-speed railway with a speed of 350 kilometers per hour, and the time and space distance will be reduced to 2.5 hours. Editor/Xu Shengpeng
