As the new year begins, the transportation construction sites in Guangdong are in a striving posture of "start with a sprint". At the Shiziyang Channel in the Pearl River Estuary, the east and west anchorages of the Shiziyang grand bridge have already reached a height of 86.5 meters. During the Chinese New Year, over a hundred construction workers remained on-site, and after the holiday, all 1,600 workers returned to their posts, with 32 construction points now fully operational. On the Qingyuan-Huadu Expressway, more than 800 workers are on-site, and all 13 sections of the project have been activated. Meanwhile, the southern section of the Guangzhou-Shaoguan Expressway expansion project is in full swing, with over 1,300 workers and 720 pieces of equipment working tirelessly. The Changchun-Shenzhen Expressway's section from Heyuan to Huizhou is expected to open to traffic this year.

The world-class airport cluster in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is rapidly taking shape. The third-phase expansion of Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport is progressing swiftly. On January 23rd, the station of the comprehensive transportation center was completed, and the fourth runway was put into operation. The project is scheduled to be completed and operational by 2025, with an annual passenger throughput of 120 million. In 2024, the passenger throughput of the Greater Bay Area airport cluster has exceeded 214 million, marking a new milestone in scale.

The construction site of the Pearl River Delta Hub Airport Station on section 14 of the Guangzhou-Zhanjiang high-speed railway is also bustling. This station serves as a key intersection for several major railway lines, covering a construction area of approximately 344,000 square meters. During the Chinese New Year, 760 construction workers remained on-site, and a large number of workers returned to their posts on the eighth day of the Chinese New Year. Currently, 53% of the main structure of the northern throat section and 62% of the southern throat section have been completed. The project aims to finish the equipment room decoration and mechanical-electrical installation for the Guangzhou-Zhanjiang high-speed railway operation by June 30th and complete the main structure of the railway's main line by August 20th. The project involves 1.33 million cubic meters of structural concrete, 22,400 tons of steel, and 3.81 million cubic meters of earth and stone backfill. These staggering figures underscore Guangdong's determination to build a world-class transportation hub.

海陆空“向新”！大湾区重大交通工程新气象

新春伊始，广东交通建设现场满是“起步即冲刺”的奋进态势。珠江口的狮子洋通道狮子洋大桥东西主塔已建至86.5米，春节期间百余名建设者坚守，节后1600名工人全员到岗，32个施工点全面开启。清花高速超800人到岗，13个标段全面激活；广韶高速改扩建南段1300余名工人与720台设备全力冲刺；长深高速河惠段预计今年通车。

粤港澳大湾区世界级机场群正在崛起。广州白云机场三期扩建加速，1月23日综合交通中心车站封顶，第四跑道启用，计划2025年建成投产，届时年旅客吞吐能力达1.2亿人次。2024年大湾区机场群旅客吞吐量超2.14亿人次，规模实现新突破。

广湛高铁14标珠三角枢纽机场站施工现场同样热火朝天。这里是多条重要铁路交会点，建筑面积约34.4万平方米。春节760名建设者坚守，正月初八大批人员返岗，目前北咽喉主体结构完成53%，南咽喉完成62% 。项目计划6月30日前完成涉及广湛高铁运营部分的设备用房装修和机电安装，8月20日前完成广湛铁路正线主体结构。其133万立方米结构混凝土、2.24万吨钢结构、381万立方米土石方回填量。这些惊人数字背后，彰显着广东打造世界级交通枢纽的决心。
