Planning objectives are divided into two stages. During the period of 20 1 1-20 15, the comprehensive transportation infrastructure was mainly improved, and the layout of "164 1" was put forward: a low-carbon transportation channel was improved (that is, the main shipping channel of Hanjiang River was improved, connecting Shaanxi in the west and Shiyan, Xiangyang in series). Form six rapid transportation channels (i.e. Xiaogan via Wuhan to Xianning, Suizhou to Yueyang, Xiangyang to Jingzhou, Shiyan to Yichang, Wuhan to Shiyan and Wuhan to Yichang); Construction of four comprehensive transportation hubs (namely, Wuhan will be built into a national comprehensive transportation hub and Xiangyang, Shiyan and Jingmen will be built into regional comprehensive transportation hubs); Construction of traffic support system (that is, construction of comprehensive traffic information system in Hanjiang River Basin). By 20 15, the four-in-one comprehensive transportation system along the Yangtze River, including waterway, expressway, express railway and aviation, will be basically completed, the radiation and throughput capacity of the port will be significantly improved, and the storage, logistics and shipping capabilities will be greatly improved, basically achieving the goal of building a transportation and logistics system in the Han River. By 2020, the water conservancy shipping belt and comprehensive transportation hub will be basically built, and the Hanjiang River will take the lead in "unblocking".
By May of 20 13, the total scale of the comprehensive transportation network in Hanjiang River Basin reached 94,225 kilometers (excluding air routes and urban roads), and the density of the comprehensive transportation network was 150 kilometers/100 square kilometers, and the comprehensive transportation network began to take shape. In terms of shipping, the mileage of inland waterways in the Hanjiang River Basin reached 2,595 kilometers, including 867 kilometers in the main channel of the Hanjiang River. In terms of highways, the Hanjiang River Basin has built a "three vertical and three horizontal" expressway skeleton network, such as Beijing, Hong Kong, Macao and Suiyue, reaching all cities in the region except Shennongjia forest area, and the highway grade and service capacity have been greatly improved. In terms of railways, the total railway mileage in Hanjiang River Basin is 1 170 km, and the road network density is 1.86 km/ 100 km2. In aviation, the existing Xiangyang Liuji Airport in Hanjiang River Basin is one of the four major airports in Hubei Province. Xiangyang Airport is being rebuilt according to the 4D standard, and the preliminary work of Shennongjia and Wudang Mountain airports has been accelerated.
