What changes have taken place in Chengdu?

A road, difficult to walk; One road, both wind and rain; A road to witness the great changes in the sea; A road records the development of Chengdu traffic and China, and Chengdu.

Sixty years of struggle and sixty years of sweat.

From 1949 to 2009, it has come a long way from Wancun to Cement Road, from cities without a high-grade highway to counties and counties to expressway, from relying only on more than 30 bus lines to BRT, subway, light rail and intercity railway, and from urban areas to suburban counties to Chengdu 1 hour traffic circle.

Although the results are gratifying, Chengdu traffic people know the truth of "sailing against the current, not advancing or retreating". In today's fierce regional competition, only by building Chengdu into the largest comprehensive transportation hub in the west can we take the lead in the fierce regional competition; Only by focusing on building a modern three-dimensional transportation system covering "Chengdu in the whole region" and radiating the central and western regions can we provide the most powerful transportation guarantee for realizing the goal of "New Three Most".

Therefore, the traffic people in Chengdu bravely shoulder the heavy responsibility of building the main hub of the comprehensive transportation hub in the west. In accordance with the major strategic deployment of building a comprehensive transportation hub in the west that runs through the north and south, the east and the west, and the river and the sea, and under the guidance of the idea of coordinating urban and rural development by the Chengdu Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, the comprehensive construction of Chengdu's transportation industry will be solidly promoted.

A conference to build a comprehensive transportation hub in the west is being held quietly, and the "Chengdu three-dimensional transportation network" is gradually taking shape ... The largest national comprehensive transportation hub in the west will surely rise in Chengdu, Sichuan!

A story

In the past: There was only one old road, and it took half a day to get to Dujiangyan.

Looking back on the development of Chengdu's traffic in the past 60 years, we have to mention the first road in Chengdu's history-Chengdu-Chengdu irrigation (county) road: from the bumpy and difficult road to the 6-lane expressway which is being rebuilt now. In the past 60 years, the changes of Chengcheng irrigation road have been earth-shaking.

According to the traffic records of Chengdu, the Chengguan Highway built in the winter of 1925 is the first expressway in Chengdu. However, because the roads at that time were built under the control of warlords of various countries, most of them were dirt roads, and the road surface was uneven, making it difficult to drive, so there was a saying that "it rains with a knife on a sunny day and a bag of rotten things".

Until the 1980s, Chengdu's main roads, including Chengguan Road, were still in a state of low grade and poor traffic. "At that time, it took us half a day to go to Dujiangyan, and we had to leave early in the morning and arrive at noon." Speaking of the development of Chengdu-Chongqing Highway, Gao Yue, director of the Construction Management Department of the Municipal Communications Commission, who has been dealing with highways for half his life, was filled with emotion. He said that although Chengguan Road has greatly narrowed the distance between Chengdu and Dujiangyan, it is far from convenient and fast as now imagined.

"There are many towns passing through this road. Sometimes it takes half an hour to cross a town. Coupled with chaotic traffic order, crowded vehicles, frequent accidents, serious traffic jams, and limited traffic capacity. " Gao Yuejin said that it is not just Chengguan Road. In fact, in the early 1980s, the total length of the first and second-class highways in Chengdu was only17km, accounting for only 0.4% of the total highway mileage, and the traffic capacity of the entire Chengdu highway network was very limited. "

Gao Yuejin said that in the mid-1980s, relying on the masses, the highway department of our city carried out large-scale road widening and transformation in the form of hard work of migrant workers and private assistance, and Chengguan Road became the first mechanized paved road in our city. "The asphalt on the old road was softened by heavy vehicles and the sun, so this situation does not exist after this transformation." However, although the road surface condition has been greatly improved in the late 1980s, the density of the whole road network is still very low, and the road network is still dominated by third-class roads, fourth-class roads and even waiting roads. "It is still very inconvenient to travel. It takes half a day to drive to the third floor."

Now: take the expressway and the fast lane, and you can make a round trip in half a day.

With the construction of a large number of high-grade roads such as expressway and Urban Expressway, the situation of "going out early in the morning and arriving at noon" was finally completely broken: in May, 1993, 1, the Chengdu-Jianyang section of Chengdu-Chongqing Expressway was opened to traffic, ending the history that Sichuan and Chengdu did not have expressway. Since then, Chengdu has become Mian County, Chengya County, Le Cheng County, Chengnan County, Chengguan County and other cities. The connection between Chengdu and surrounding districts (cities) and counties has been greatly reduced. Until June 5438+1 October12004, with the completion and opening of Chengwenqiong and Cheng Peng expressways, Chengdu took the lead in realizing the formation of expressway network with "high-speed access to the county" and "one ring and eight shots" in the western region, and the development of Chengdu's traffic also embarked on the "high-speed era".

"Now we inform the meeting at 9: 00 am, and the comrades farthest from Dujiangyan, Pujiang, Qionglai and Jintang can arrive without coming one day in advance." Gao Yuejin said that the distance from Dujiangyan to Chengdu was more than 40 kilometers in July 2000, which only took more than half an hour at most, plus the need to enter the city 1 hour. If it will be finished early, you can drive back to Dujiangyan for lunch. "

Future: Take the subway express for 30 minutes to visit Qingcheng Mountain.

Now, with a series of traffic construction projects such as Chengdu-Irrigation Expressway, Chengdu-Irrigation Main Road (it Avenue) and National Highway 3 17, Chengdu-Irrigation Expressway will no longer be just a "single-plank bridge", but a situation in which "multiple channels and modes" coexist. "Chengguan expressway will be opened to traffic at the end of this year at the earliest, and the main irrigation road will be opened to traffic next year. The renovation of the old irrigation road will be completed in the first half of next year ... It will be another situation at that time." Speaking of the "striding meteor" of highway construction in Chengdu in recent years, Gao Yuejin can't help but be excited. He said that the construction of roads not only changed people's travel environment; More importantly, it has brought rare development opportunities along the route, which will greatly promote the economic development along the route.

What is even more exciting is that the Chengdu-Dujiangyan express passenger railway, the first urban rail transit line connecting the central city and surrounding districts (cities) and counties in our city, started construction last year, which brought infinite expectations to people along the line. After the whole line is completed and opened to traffic in May next year, take the EMU train with a top speed of 200 kilometers per hour, and it takes no more than 30 minutes from Qingcheng Mountain to the central city. It is conceivable that in the near future, there will be such a situation in our life at any time: on a Friday afternoon, after a busy week, you "drilled" into the underground nearby, changed at the subway station in Pixian County, and boarded the intercity train from Chengdu to Dujiangyan without leaving the station. In less than 30 minutes, you have reached the foot of the beautiful Qingcheng Mountain, drinking night beer with three friends and four friends in the faint breeze.

A string of footprints

After the completion of the second runway of Shuangliu Airport, Chengdu will become the fourth city in China to have the second runway of the airport after Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.

Some changes

Road construction is earth-shaking:

For 60 years, there has been no high-grade highway leading to the county seat.

Turning to the history of highway traffic in Chengdu, we are greeted by such a written record: 1949, there are 497.3 kilometers of highways in Chengdu, most of which are dilapidated; There are 8 bridges1/kloc-0, with a total length of 3329.8 meters. Except for a few stone arch bridges, all areas are semi-permanent or temporary bridges. By the end of 1970s, the total mileage of highways in the city was only 4,763 kilometers, with no road network and many broken roads. The roads from Chengdu to all districts and counties are more curved and narrower, with low grade and large mixed traffic. There are five townships in the city, and 10 15 villages have no access to highways. Four-grade highways and contour highways account for 4/5 of the total mileage of highways, and two-thirds of them are dirt roads, so it is impossible to drive in rainy season. There are no high-grade highways in the city, let alone fast direct access to expressway. The "unblocked" highway has affected the connection between urban and rural areas and the production and life of people along the route, and restricted the economic development of Chengdu.

Today, what we see is this data: By the end of 2007, the total highway mileage of the whole city reached18982.8km, that of expressway was 438.8km, that of the first-class highway was 647.6km and that of the second-class highway was1697.7km; By the end of 2008, the total highway mileage in Chengdu has reached 19472.6 17km, and the highway density is 157km/ 100km2. Regardless of road network density or road grade, Chengdu's highway level is in the first-class in the country.

It is particularly worth mentioning that in recent years, with the in-depth development of urban-rural integration and the acceleration of new rural construction, our city has taken the lead in realizing the two grand goals of "cement roads for every village" and "expressway for every county" in the central and western regions, completely changing the face of "poor traffic" in Chengdu, and the history of "going out depending on the weather" and "difficult to walk on sunny days" is gone forever.

"Whenever I want to go home, I will drive back 1 hour. When I first came to Chengdu, I could only go home once a month and walk for half a day at a time. " Lao Wang, whose hometown is in the countryside of Dayi, can't help but admire the great changes brought by "the county connects expressway" and "the cement road connects every village". He said that going home more than ten years ago was a real trip. Now expressway is open to traffic, and the cement road is connected to the door. "It's convenient to take my wife and children back to their hometown to see their grandparents and say when to leave."

People travel smoothly and quickly:

In 60 years, it took half a day to transfer to public transportation to reach urban and rural areas.

From the central city to the surrounding second and third circle districts (cities) and counties, you don't need to buy a ticket at the passenger station, and you don't have to wait for a long time, and the fare is very cheap-even before 10, this was something that everyone dared not think about. "From the county seat to Chengdu by car, there is no traffic jam and you don't have to wait too long. It's very satisfying."

This is something I dare not even think about, but it was quickly realized in the process of urban-rural integration development in our city: on April 28, 2003, with the official opening of bus No.309 from Baihua Central Station to Wenjiang Bus Station, the people's good wish of "taking cheap and fast urban buses to suburban counties" was finally realized. Only by the end of 2004, the city has opened 12 bus lines from the central city to Pixian, Longquanyi and Wenjiang districts, and the transformation of urban and rural passenger transport has achieved initial results. Speaking of buses leaving the city and entering districts (cities) and counties, people along the route will always be happy to say, "When we go out, there will be buses, and we are no different from people in the city."

Since 2005, the city's transportation departments have stepped up their efforts to further promote the integration of urban and rural public transport and passenger transport, relying on favorable factors such as urban and rural road network optimization and key town construction. By the end of 2007, the city will realize the transformation of public transportation and add *** 14 1 bus lines. The passenger lines from Longquan, Xindu, Pixian, Wenjiang, Shuangliu and Huayang to the central city were all transformed into public transportation, and the second floor and 30 key towns in the city realized public transportation between towns. The integrated network system of urban and rural bus passenger transport market with three floors in the city has initially taken shape, and the conditions of bus travel within the city have undergone earth-shaking changes.

Nowadays, with the completion and opening of urban expressways leading to the second and third floors, an expressway network system covering the whole of Chengdu has gradually formed, further facilitating the convenient travel of urban and rural residents. "According to the construction plan of expressway, expressway plans to open bus lines after its completion. Obviously, the bus lines in expressway must be' fast', "said the head of the Municipal Communications Commission happily. There is also a bus rapid transit network on the expressway network in Chengdu. "expressway has been opened, and bus rapid transit has followed." In this way, citizens can take the BRT to take the fast track in the city, the speed will be increased, the fare will be reduced, and they can travel in the whole city conveniently and comfortably.

prospect

Chengdu: Form a 1 hour traffic circle.

The excitement goes far beyond that. The Fourth Plenary Session of the Ninth Provincial Party Committee put forward the resounding slogan of "building a comprehensive transportation hub in the west that runs through the north and south, the east and the west, and the river and the sea", which pointed out the development direction for Chengdu's transportation construction and provided great opportunities. With the grand "Strategic Planning of Comprehensive Transportation Hub in Central and Western China" coming out, a beautiful blueprint of "Chengdu in the whole region" is coming out. ...

According to the latest Chengdu Rail Transit Network Planning (2009-2030) issued by the Municipal Communications Commission, the rail transit lines to be built in Chengdu include: 9 subways with a total length of 323 kilometers, 7 passenger dedicated lines with a total length of 373.7 kilometers, and tourist railways11.9 kilometers. Taking this as an important part, the transportation concept of "Chengdu in the whole region" makes people look forward to the convenient passage in the future: a fast, large-capacity and multimodal transportation corridor composed of rail transit, expressway, urban expressway and main roads with more than four lanes will be formed between the central city and eight surrounding cities; 30 small cities and 60 new cities are connected with medium-sized cities in the region by trunk roads with more than four lanes, and 600 central villages are connected by two-way and two-lane external passages. When this beautiful blueprint comes true, even if you start from some remote towns on the third floor, transfer to the nearest light rail station or intercity railway station through rural public transport, and enter the city through the fastest rail transit, it will not exceed 1 hour, and the traffic circle within the city will be realized.

In the central city, with the successive construction of nine subway lines, the entire central city will form a subway network of no more than 30 minutes; Coupled with the vigorous development of urban public transport and the formation of a three-level structure network of "BRT+trunk bus+branch bus", urban BRT will develop in harmony with rail transit and form the backbone of urban public transport. "By then, the travel in the central city will become extremely fast, and the half-hour traffic circle in the capital circle will be announced," said the person in charge of the Municipal Communications Commission hopefully.

Travel all over the country: 8 hours to the seaside.

Road construction in the city is as dense as a spider web, and people travel smoothly; Outside Chengdu, Chengdu citizens can still enjoy the fastest travel service. Expressway's "Second Ring Road+12 Shooting" and Railway's "Second Ring Road+12 Shooting"-the future blueprint of Chengdu's external traffic is very exciting, whether it is highway or railway.

Although as early as 2004, as the first city in the western region to realize the "county-to-county expressway", 437 kilometers of "one ring and eight shots" expressway has been built in Chengdu, but Chengdu has never stopped further improving the main skeleton of expressway. According to the plan, Chengdu will also add Chengdu Economic Zone, Chengdu-Mianyang, Chengdu-Luz, Chengdu-Nanba, Chengdu-Anyu, expressway and the second airport, so that the expressway directly radiated by Chengdu will reach 12, and the expressway skeleton of "two rings+twelve shots" will be formed in the future. The total mileage of expressway planned by Chengdu will reach about 800 kilometers.

The road network of expressway in the whole province has gradually taken shape, with Chengdu as the center, realizing a four-hour traffic circle of Chengdu, Germany, Mianyang and Leshan, and expressway realizing a four-hour traffic circle of Chengdu-Chongqing urban agglomeration economic circle. Except Marcand and Kangding in the west, Xichang and Panzhihua in the south, citizens can communicate with each other within 4 hours through expressway with an average speed of over100km.

As for railways, according to the Medium-and Long-Term Railway Network Plan (Adjusted in 2008) determined by the National Development and Reform Commission and the post-disaster reconstruction plan of Sichuan Province, and the provincial minutes signed by the Ministry of Railways and Sichuan Province, Chengdu will add Chengdu-West Passenger Dedicated Line, Chengdu-Lanzhou Railway, Chengdu-Guiyang Passenger Dedicated Line, Chengdu-Chongqing Passenger Dedicated Line, sichuan-tibet railway, Chuanqing Railway and Chengdu-Xining on the basis of the existing four railways. According to the current planning and construction progress, in five years, Chengdu 12 radiation will be fully completed and opened to traffic, and Chengdu will form a railway network pattern of "two rings+12 radiation" to connect the 12 channel to Sichuan.

When all these railway projects are completed, it will form a half-hour traffic circle from Chengdu to Mianyang, Leshan and Neijiang, 1 hour to Chongqing, Guangyuan, Yibin and Ya 'an, 2 hours to Xichang, Kangding, Xi and Guiyang, and 4 hours to Lanzhou, Zhengzhou, Wuhan, Changsha, Kunming, Beijing and Guangzhou.

Travel around the world:/kloc-travel around the world in 0/5 hours.

Airplane, the fastest means of transportation in the world. Chengdu, determined to become a comprehensive transportation hub in the west, will make every effort to build an international aviation hub, so that Chengdu can take the lead in regional competition.

In order to meet the rapid growth of passenger flow, since last year, our city has officially started the construction of the second runway and the new terminal. According to the target of 2013.356 billion yuan with passenger throughput of 38 million passengers, cargo and mail throughput of 800,000 tons and aircraft take-off and landing of 320,000 sorties, the total investment of the project is 654.38+03 billion yuan. At present, the second runway is about to be put into use, and the construction of the new terminal has been fully started. It will be completed and put into use on 20 1 1, and Chengdu's position as the most important aviation hub in the western region will be further consolidated.

With the rapid development of aviation industry and the increasing number of regional flights, Chengdu's air passenger flow is bound to rise sharply. In order to meet the needs of aviation development in the future, Chengdu traffic people with forward-looking strategic vision, according to the initial positioning of Chengdu large airport planned by the state, have conducted many in-depth demonstrations on the location of Chengdu Second Airport and planned to build Chengdu Second Airport. More than five runways will be reserved in the planned Chengdu Second Airport, which can meet the annual passenger throughput of 80 million passengers and cargo throughput of 2 million tons. At the same time, the second airport will also open more than 10 international direct flights to the metropolitan area, and encrypt the layout of 15 points of the regional airport with a radius of 15 kilometers, so as to become the largest international composite hub airport in the western region, and finally form the layout of "one city and two pavilions" in Chengdu.

"In the future, Chengdu citizens flying to all parts of the world will no longer need to fly to Beijing, Shanghai or Guangzhou, but will fly directly from Chengdu to their destinations." According to the plan, in the future, Chengdu will strengthen its ties with major cities in the world, build a domestic 2-hour aviation circle, quickly lead to major cities in the southeast and northwest such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Lhasa, and a 4-hour aviation circle in Asia, quickly lead to neighboring countries in the southeast and northwest such as Japan, Singapore, Mongolia and Pakistan, and fly to the United States, Australia and Pakistan in a worldwide 15-hour aviation circle.

The grand blueprint has been drawn and the construction is accelerating. Hu Hu, director of the Municipal Communications Commission, said: "On the day when the blueprint becomes a reality, our dream of connecting the river with the sea will come true, and the history of difficult access to the Shu Road will never return, and Chengdu will truly become the largest comprehensive transportation hub in the central and western regions of China!" At that time, we will experience unprecedented convenience and speed, whether in heaven or on earth, whether in the city or in the world. We are the happiest people living in Chengdu!
