Today, the high-speed rail network is becoming more and more perfect, but the construction of high-speed rail in Jiangsu Province seems to have fallen into an embarrassing situation of "Su Daqiang sparrows laying goose eggs". In particular, the construction of the Yantai-Xichangyi high-speed railway (referred to as the "Yanyi high-speed railway") is self-evident, but its progress is not satisfactory, which makes people worry about the economic development prospects of central and northern Jiangsu.
As an important transportation artery connecting northern Jiangsu, central Jiangsu and southern Jiangsu, the construction of Yanyi high-speed railway is of great significance for promoting regional economic development and optimizing transportation layout. However, regrettably, the construction of this high-speed rail line is not going well. It does not go to Shanghai in the east, but not Nanjing in the west, and such a layout not only cannot effectively connect the two major economic centers, but may fall into a suppressed situation due to the diversion of the passenger flow of the two stations.
The reason for this is, on the one hand, because the province does not pay enough attention to the Yanyi high-speed railway. In the construction of high-speed rail, factors such as capital investment and policy support are crucial. However, in the current environment, the province's investment and support for the Yanyi high-speed railway are obviously insufficient, resulting in slow progress of the project. On the other hand, Nanjing, as the capital city of Jiangsu Province, has limited economic development level and driving role, and cannot have a strong radiation effect on the surrounding areas like Shanghai, Suzhou, Hangzhou and other cities. Therefore, even if the Yanyi high-speed railway can connect Nanjing, it will not be able to fully play its due role.
However, this does not negate the importance of the Yanyi high-speed railway. On the contrary, we should see the potential for great value. The construction of the Yanyi high-speed railway will open up the communication between the north and the south, connect the economically developed areas such as Suzhou, Xichang and Changzhou, and then promote the economic development of the entire central and northern Jiangsu region. At the same time, it will also provide residents of cities along the route with more convenient and efficient travel methods and improve people's quality of life.
Therefore, we should actively call on the province to strengthen the attention and support for the Yanyi high-speed railway. First of all, we should increase capital investment and policy support for the project to ensure the smooth progress of the project. Secondly, cooperation and exchanges with Shanghai, Suzhou, Hangzhou and other cities should be strengthened to jointly promote the construction and development of the Yanyi high-speed railway. Finally, the planning and development of cities along the line should be strengthened, and the support capacity of cities should be improved, so as to lay a solid foundation for the future development of the Yanyi high-speed railway.
In short, the construction of the Yanyi high-speed railway is of great significance to the economic development of central and northern Jiangsu. We should actively call on the province to strengthen the attention and support for the project, and jointly promote the construction and development of the Yanyi high-speed railway. Only in this way can we truly realize the economic rise and prosperity of the central and northern Jiangsu regions.
