[Liaoning transportation key investment will reach 53 billion yuan]According to the Liaoning Provincial Department of Transport, in order to implement the requirements of Liaoning three-year action deployment, Liaoning will promote the implementation of 72 key transportation projects worth more than RMB 100 million in 2023, with an investment of RMB 53 billion, up 15.3% year-on-year. In order to accelerate the resumption of key projects and promote the increase of physical workload and investment, Liaoning focused on solving prominent problems concerned by market entities, and launched ten work measures, including serving the special management of state-owned enterprises, booking services for large-scale transportation, managers of road-related construction projects, cross-provincial handling of high-frequency matters, and high-speed cloud loans for small and micro enterprises, to promote the healthy and sustainable development of market entities. In order to do a good job in bulk transportation reservation service, Liaoning government departments actively docking with more than 50 large manufacturing enterprises such as Shenyang Aircraft Manufacturing Co., LTD., Sany Heavy Industry Co., LTD., take the initiative to provide door-to-door service, establish windoon-to-door cooperation relationship between government and enterprise for administrative examination and approval, and provide them with reservation system examination and approval service according to the production plan of enterprises. Since 2023, 19,561 large transportation approvals have been handled. With a year-on-year growth of 11%, the average time for cross-provincial approval of three types of major projects was reduced from 15 days to 2.8 days, ranking first in the country.
