the 29th, the centralized commencement of major urban transportation projects in Chongqing was held in Yongchuan District, involving two projects of Chongqing Central District Railway to Yongchuan Line and Baoshan Jialing River Bridge, with a total investment of 32 billion yuan.
Chongqing Municipal Railway from Chongqing Central District to Yongchuan Line,
which is the first municipal railway in Chongqing to start construction in the approved multi-level rail transit planning project of Chengdu-Chongqing Shuangcheng Economic Circle, is planned to be completed and opened to traffic in 2027, with a total length of 68 kilometers. The designed maximum running speed is 140 km/H, and the travel time of the whole line is about 50 minutes. It will be connected to the two major transportation hubs of Chongqing West Railway Station and Chongqing New Airport, and can also be connected to Line 15 in the central urban area. After the completion of the project, it can efficiently connect Yongchuan District, Bishan District, Chongqing High-tech Zone and Shapingba District, which is of great significance to promote the integrated development of the main city metropolitan area and help build an economic circle on the track and a one-hour commuting circle in the main city metropolitan area.
Baoshan Jialing River Bridge Project is the throat project of five connecting lines in Chongqing Expressway Network System "Eight Horizontal, Seven Vertical, One Ring and Nine Connections", with a total length of about 3.3 kilometers and a design speed of 80 kilometers per hour. After the completion of the project, the distance between the groups on both sides of the Jialing River can be further shortened, and the Caijia Free Trade Pilot Area and Yuelai National Expo Center can be effectively connected in series.
At present, 573 kilometers of urban expressways in the central urban area of Chongqing have been opened to traffic, basically forming an expressway network structure of "one ring, six vertical, five horizontal and three links". In the central urban area, 37 cross-mountain Jiang Daqiao and 22 extra-long tunnels have been built. There are 12 rail transit lines in operation, with an operating mileage of 501 kilometers. According to the relevant person in charge of
Chongqing Housing and Urban-Rural Construction Commission, this year Chongqing will accelerate the construction of five cross-mountain tunnels, such as Huangjuetuo Yangtze River Bridge, Baoshan Jialing River Bridge, and seven Jiang Daqiao, such as Science City Tunnel and Antler Tunnel, to continuously improve the road network structure of the central urban area, and at the same time, it will further promote the integration of the main urban area. We will speed up the construction of key projects from Liangjiang New Area to Changshou, and thoroughly implement the "No.1 Project" for the construction of the Shuangcheng Economic Circle.
