Continuously improve the quality of comprehensive transport services and the level of traffic safety production.
2024 marks the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China and is a crucial year for achieving the goals of the 14th Five-Year Plan. Guangdong's transportation system will be deployed in accordance with the "1310" specific plan of the provincial Party committee, with the overall goal of "walking in the forefront" to guide all aspects of the province's transportation work, coordinate investment and construction, passenger and freight transport, safety and stability, scientific and technological innovation, industry governance and other work, comprehensively improve the quality and level of transport services, and better support the "million" project. The high-quality development and modernization of Guangdong should take the lead and provide more powerful transportation service guarantee.
On January 29, the Guangdong Provincial People's Government of the Ministry of Transport formally signed the Cooperation Agreement on Accelerating the Construction of a Strong Transportation Country and Supporting Guangdong to Take the Lead in Promoting the Modernization of China, marking a program of action for the high-quality development of transportation in the province in the next five years.
In the past year, Guangdong has promoted the construction of a model province of transportation power in accordance with the national strategy. Last year, the management measures and division of labor plan for the pilot projects of transportation powers in Guangdong Province were issued, focusing on the implementation of 45 pilot tasks of transportation powers. Among the national acceptance pilot tasks, Guangdong ranks first in the pilot task of "integration and development of transportation and tourism industries". At the same time, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Foshan and Huizhou have been identified as the first batch of pilot cities for the construction of strong transportation provinces, and the construction of strong transportation provinces has moved from surface to point to depth. In
2023, about 346.9 billion yuan was invested in the construction of highways, waterways and provincial railways, an increase of 10.2% over the same period last year. Fifteen projects have been completed, including the reconstruction and expansion of Huilong Expressway and Shenzhen-Shantou West Expressway, with a total mileage of 11481 kilometers, ranking first in the country for 10 consecutive years. Forty-nine ordinary national and provincial highways have been completed and opened to traffic, with a total of 1051 kilometers of new reconstruction and expansion throughout the year. Nineteen projects have been completed, including the large cargo terminal of the BASF integration project and the second phase of the Yamen Sea-going Channel Project. Three 353 kilometers of Guangzhou-Shantou-Shantou high-speed railway were completed and opened to traffic.
Guangdong will vigorously promote the coverage of expressways to cities and towns, promote the construction of expressway liaison lines, branch lines and extension lines, smooth national highways to counties, and strengthen provincial highways to towns. The whole province has realized county-to-county high-speed and town-to-town national and provincial highways.
Last year, Guangdong overfulfilled ten people's livelihood facts related to rural road construction tasks in 2023, with 6958 kilometers of newly rebuilt rural roads, 288 dangerous bridges on rural roads, 3539 kilometers of village road safety protection projects and 3300 kilometers of beautiful rural roads. More than 2200 new administrative villages were connected to two-lane highways, covering 83.5% of the total. The proportion of second-class
national roads, third-class provincial roads and two-lane coverage of rural roads in administrative villages in the whole province has been increasing, which has effectively promoted the orderly transfer of industries in the Pearl River Delta region in eastern Guangdong, western Guangdong and northern Guangdong. The comprehensive transport service system of
counties, towns and villages has been continuously improved. Guangdong has initially formed a new system of three-level rural logistics network nodes in counties, towns and villages with coordinated development of transportation, postal services and supply and marketing. To further promote the integration of passenger transport, freight transport, logistics and express delivery in rural areas of the province, 17 cities have opened integrated business.
Meixian, Nanxiong and Sihui have passed the acceptance of "Demonstration County of Urban-Rural Transportation Integration" by the Ministry of Transport, and the successful experience of integrating transportation resources in Shaoguan City has been promoted to the whole country as a typical case.

In
2023, Guangdong's transportation system, guided by the ecological construction of Lvmei Guangdong, will make every effort to promote the construction of green highways and the improvement of the greening quality of trunk highways, so as to create a green and harmonious travel environment.
At present, Guangdong is vigorously organizing all parts of the country to do a good job in the technical management of greening design, construction and maintenance of trunk highways, comprehensively speeding up the improvement of greening quality of Lvmei Highway, and actively creating a model of Lvmei Highway.
Opening the road map of Guangdong, the examples of green and beautiful road construction have blossomed in many places. Huiqing Expressway fully applies topsoil stripping technology to reuse 100% of the recovered topsoil, effectively protecting topsoil resources from loss and waste, and creating a green ecological road. Huida Expressway has built a "light storage and charging" integrated low-carbon project in yuanshan service area, which not only effectively solves the problem of charging and energy supplement for new energy vehicles, but also reduces carbon emissions in the service area.
The Central Economic Work Conference proposed that major economic provinces should really take the lead and make greater contributions to stabilizing the national economy.
Transportation is an important force to promote investment and stabilize the economy.

We will strive to achieve the "14th Five-Year Plan" planning target of 95% of the second-class roads of ordinary national highways and 90% of the third-class roads of ordinary provincial highways.
In 2024, the provincial expressway plans to start 12 new projects such as the reconstruction and expansion of the Wujiang-Fogang section of the Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao Expressway in Shaoguan, Guangdong Province, and 17 provincial key construction projects such as the Shantouwan Bridge on the G228 National Highway. Port and shipping projects are planned to start 22 new projects, including the third phase of Guangao Port Area in Shantou, Guoneng Bulk Terminal in Gaolan Port Area of Zhuhai Port, and Beijiang Channel Expansion and Upgrading Extension Project. In terms of railway construction, we will strive to start six new projects such as Guangzhou East to Xintang Line 56 (including Guangzhou East Railway Station). We
will accelerate the construction of projects under construction and urge more projects to be completed and put into operation.

Make a good fight for upgrading.
