In the initial visualization of the development programming for the
industrial belt around Hangzhou Bay , Zhejiang Province also has set a rough
framework for the interactive construction of infrastructures in the six cities.
The key points are as follows: speeding up constructions of express rail
transportation between Shanghai & Hangzhou and the Huzhou-Jiaxing-Zhapu
railway extension that will connect the railway with Shanghai Pudong railway;
widening Shanghai-Hangzhou expressway, Hangzhou Bay Cross-sea Bridge and
Hangzhou-Nanjing expressway; advancing the planning and construction of Channel
2 on Shanghai-Hangzhou-Ningbo expressway; pushing forward the integrated
construction of Ningbo-Zhoushan harbor basin; expediting reconstructions of
inland river navigation courses of Changxing-Huzhou-Shanghai line and
Hangzhou-Ningbo canal etc. On June 8, 2003, the construction of the Hangzhou Bay
Cross-sea Bridge, which extends 36 kilometers, started. The bridge links Cixi,
Ningbo, which is on the southern bank of Hangzhou Bay with Jiaxing and Pinghu,
which are on the northern bank, making the distance between Ningbo and Shanghai
shortened by 120 kilometers. This will accelerate the forming of the
international metropolis circle in the Yangtze River Delta, which has Shanghai
as its center.
Currently, top-level government officials in those cities
in Hangzhou Bay region have reached a consensus: developing the industrial belt
around Hangzhou Bay into ˇ°a newly developed urban area with important functionsˇ±
ˇ°an assembling area of foreign and private capitalˇ± ˇ°the core area of advanced
manufacturing basesˇ± and ˇ°a trial area for innovations in system and mechanismˇ±.
