en.Wedoany.com Reported - Guangdong Province recently announced that its provincial transportation system has completed the initial three-year targets of the "High-Quality Development Project for Hundreds of Counties, Thousands of Towns, and Tens of Thousands of Villages," achieving county access to expressways within 20 minutes and access for 1,000 townships within 30 minutes. This achievement was made by taking the improvement of transportation conditions and accessibility levels as a breakthrough point.
According to Lin Feiming, Director of the Guangdong Provincial Department of Transportation, the transportation authorities seized the opportunity presented by the "Hundreds, Thousands, and Tens of Thousands Project" to continuously improve the road network system. In 2025, Guangdong completed projects including the Guangzhou-Zhanjiang High-Speed Railway and the Shantou South to Shantou section of the Shantou-Shanwei High-Speed Railway, achieving high-speed rail connectivity at 350 km/h between eastern and western Guangdong. It also completed 443 kilometers of expressways, bringing the total number of inter-provincial corridors to 34; built 428 kilometers of regular national and provincial highways; upgraded over 4,000 kilometers of rural roads; renovated over 240 dilapidated old bridges; and connected over 90% of administrative villages with two-lane roads.
In recent years, Guangdong has innovated a new "Transportation + Agriculture, Culture, Tourism, and Commerce" business model, transforming expressway service areas into windows for showcasing culture, products, and cuisine. Last year, a total of 33 distinctive service areas, such as the Boguan Lychee Culture Service Area, were completed, and 396 service areas underwent "micro-renovations." Over 200 dedicated counters for high-quality agricultural products from rural revitalization were established, generating over 184 million yuan through consumption-based assistance.
Focusing on the goal of "significant changes in five years," Guangdong will advance the "Hundreds, Thousands, and Tens of Thousands Project" with greater intensity. In the transportation sector, a number of railway, expressway, regular national and provincial highway, and rural road projects will be constructed. In 2026, plans include continuing the construction of 36 expressway projects (totaling approximately 1,837 kilometers), completing 50 regular national and provincial highway projects, and promoting the construction of the National Highway 228 Coastal Tourism Road. By 2027, projects such as the Huizhou Renping Island Ring Expressway and the Zhuhai-Zhaoqing High-Speed Railway will be completed, achieving county access to Class I highways, central town access to Class II highways, township access to Class III highways, and administrative village access to two-lane roads.
