On the morning of February 22, the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Joint Office held a press conference, showing the "report card" of 10 years of coordinated development. In view of the traffic that the people are concerned about, the special working group on transportation coordination introduced that the "one-hour traffic circle" in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region has begun to take shape, and the next step will be to speed up the construction of Xiongshang, Xiongxin, Tianjin-Weihai high-speed railway, and Jingbin intercity (southern section).
Transportation is one of the three key areas in which the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei coordinated development major national strategy has taken the lead in breaking through. Liu Daogang, deputy director of the Tianjin Municipal Transportation Commission, said that in the past ten years, the three provinces and cities have firmly grasped the basic leading role of transportation, focused on promoting the construction of transportation infrastructure, accelerated the construction of world-class port groups and airport groups, and continued to carry out coordinated linkage of transportation services, and transportation integration from the "blueprint" to the "reality".
Specifically, let's see
The formation of the "Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei on the track" is accelerating. A large number of high-speed railways such as Beijing-Tianjin intercity extension line, Beijing-Xiongxiong intercity, Jingtang (Jingbin) intercity, Jinxing intercity and so on have been put into operation, with Beijing and Tianjin as the core hub, the national high-speed railway network through various cities in Hebei has been basically completed, and the total mileage of high-speed rail in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region has increased from 1284 kilometers in 2013 to 2624 kilometers, realizing full coverage of all prefecture-level cities in the region, and the "1-hour traffic circle" in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region has begun to take shape, and the 2-hour traffic circle between major cities has been basically formed. The main skeleton of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region on the track is basically formed. Beijing-Tianjin intercity trains and long-marshalling trains run at a minimum interval of 3 minutes.
The interconnected road network is becoming denser and denser. A large number of expressways such as Beijing-Taipei, Beijing-Xiong, Beijing-Kunming, and Jinshi have been completed and opened to traffic, and the national expressway backbone network composed of 7 capital radial lines, 2 longitudinal lines and 3 horizontal lines has been basically formed within the region, with Beijing as the center. Up to now, the total mileage of expressways in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei has reached 10,990 kilometers (including 1,211 kilometers in Beijing, 1,358 kilometers in Tianjin, and 8,421 kilometers in Hebei Province), an increase of 37 kilometers compared with 7,983 kilometers in 20147%, and the highway density reaches 506 km 100 square kilometers, which is 27 times.
The pattern of world-class airport clusters has taken shape. Daxing Airport, Beidaihe Airport and Puning Airport were completed and put into use, and all nine planned airports in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei were opened to traffic. In 2023, the passenger throughput of Beijing's "two games" will reach 92.28 million, Tianjin Airport will carry out 188 domestic and international routes, and Hebei Airport will reach 91 cities. The first-class airport echelon of "dual core + double auxiliary + multi-node" in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei has been initially formed, which has boosted the aviation hubs of the three places to become an important fulcrum linking the international and smooth dual circulation.
Improve the quality and efficiency of transportation services. Beijing's 38 inter-provincial bus lines have achieved normal operation, with an average daily passenger volume of about 190,000 person-times, serving 17 surrounding counties, cities and regions. Since 2022, Beijing has successively opened customized express buses from Guomao to the main urban area of Langfang, the three northern counties, Gu'an County, and Wuqing District of Tianjin, with a total of 6 main lines and 36 branch lines, 154 daily shuttle buses, and a daily passenger volume of about 5,800 people, and the average commuting time has been shortened to 54 minutes, greatly improving the commuting efficiency around Beijing. Beijing-Tianjin and Jinshi Metro have realized mutual recognition of APP payment, Beijing West Railway Station and Tianjin Railway Station have realized mutual recognition of national railway and urban rail security inspection, and Beijing South Railway Station, Tianjin South Railway Station and Tianjin West Railway Station have realized national railway security-free transfer to urban rail, so as to promote the integrated development of railway and urban rail.
Liu Daogang disclosed that the next step will be to accelerate the preliminary work of Tianjin Binhai International Airport Phase III, Shijiazhuang Airport Reconstruction and Expansion, Tangshan Airport Reconstruction and Expansion; In 2024, the first section of the Jinjing urban (suburban) railway will be completed; Accelerate the construction of Xiongshang, Xiongxin, Jinwei high-speed railway, and Jingbin intercity (southern section), speed up the construction of Chengping Expressway, Beijing-Tianjin-Tang Expressway reconstruction and expansion, and Rongwu Expressway Cangzhou section reconstruction and expansion projects, accelerate the preliminary work of the capital area ring line (Tanglang Expressway Phase II), Jingde Expressway, and Bintang Expressway, and upgrade and transform some inter-provincial interface roads; Promote the extension of the coverage of customized express buses around Beijing to the surrounding areas, and continue to ensure the normal operation of inter-provincial buses.
