A total of 510 kilometers of industrial park roads have been constructed, forming a “five vertical, three horizontal” road transportation system within the park; railway development is accelerating. The Wuzhun Railway, with an annual transport capacity of 15 million tons, was completed and opened to traffic in 2013. The electrification and double-tracking upgrade project was fully launched, and by 2017, transport capacity reached 21 million tons. The Zhundongbei Station has become the largest railway freight hub in the entire region. Water supply capacity continues to improve.With an investment of 3.8 billion yuan, the project is designed to provide an annual water supply of 200 million cubic meters. The first phase, with a capacity of 100 million cubic meters, was completed and put into operation in 2013, and the 50-million-cubic-meter Wucaiwan Reservoir has been completed and is now storing water, ensuring a reliable water supply for the sustained and rapid development of industries in the Zhongdong region. Power grid infrastructure is well-developed. The park is fully covered by a six-tier power grid system, including ±1,100 kV and 750 kV lines; airport construction is accelerating.Preliminary work on the Zhundong Wucaiwan General Aviation Airport is progressing smoothly, with construction scheduled to begin in 2018.
