China News Service, Wuhan, November 6 (Yu Zhe, Chen Yalan) The Information Office of the Wuhan Municipal People's Government held a press conference on the 6th to release the "Fifteenth Five-Year Plan for Comprehensive Transportation Development in Wuhan". According to the Wuhan Municipal Transportation Bureau and other departments, during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, Wuhan will be based on the positioning of an international comprehensive transportation hub city, with the overall goal of "one city, two centers, two circles and four leaders", focusing on 7 tasks, planning 152 major projects in 8 categories, and accelerating the improvement of a modern comprehensive transportation system.
According to the plan, by 2030, Wuhan will be basically built into an international comprehensive transportation hub city, basically built into a national trade logistics center and a shipping center in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, and basically formed a "national 123 travel transportation circle" and a "global 123 express cargo logistics circle". It will lead the country in four aspects: three-dimensional network traffic capacity, inland open and shared development, logistics cost efficiency advantages, and innovative applications of digital and intelligent transportation.
By then, the port's cargo handling capacity will reach 150 million tons, container throughput will reach 2.4 million TEUs, high-speed railway mileage will reach 600 kilometers, Wuhan Tianhe International Airport's annual passenger throughput will reach 40 million, highway mileage will reach 1,150 kilometers, and lane mileage will reach 7,000 lanes. kilometers; there are 65 cross-border transportation lines of the China-Europe Railway Express (Wuhan), 1,500 China-Europe Railway Express (Wuhan) operations, 80 international and regional routes at the Tianhe and Huahu dual hubs, and a cargo and mail throughput of 1.7 million tons. The coverage rate of the population in the Wuhan metropolitan area with one-hour commuting conditions is 76%. In addition, the proportion of green travel will reach 80%, the ratio of total social logistics costs to GDP will drop to 11.2%, and the number of new energy operating vehicles will account for 51%.
In terms of improving the energy level of the hub, Wuhan will use a "combination punch". In the aviation field, we will deepen the collaboration between Wuhan Tianhe International Airport and Ezhou Huahu International Airport, adhere to the positioning of "Tianhe Passenger Super Transfer, Huahu International First-class Cargo", strive to have 30 overseas routes by the end of the "15th Five-Year Plan", and build a "belly hold + all-cargo aircraft" combined logistics pattern. In the railway field, we will promote the expansion of passenger transport hubs into "five main and multiple auxiliary", focus on promoting the construction of the Wuhan section of the Yangtze River High-speed Railway, the Wuhan hub through line, and the Fuyang-Huanggang section of the Beijing-Hong Kong-Taiwan High-speed Railway, improve the "passengers and cargo outbound" pattern, and combine the development plans of major port areas such as Economic Development and Jiangxia to plan and improve the rail-water intermodal transport infrastructure and open up the last "one kilometer" of rail-water intermodal transport. In terms of water ports, we will improve the traffic capacity of backbone waterways, accelerate the construction of the "one core, three supports and nine port areas" port layout with Yangluo Port as the core, while strengthening the port collection and distribution system, continue to optimize and expand water transportation channels, and build a shipping center in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River.
Channel and logistics construction are speeding up simultaneously. In 2025, Wuhan's express delivery business volume completed 2.995 billion pieces, and international and Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan express business volume completed 29.7723 million pieces, a year-on-year increase of 511.16%. The international freight network extended to central and western Africa for the first time. In the next step, Wuhan will make every effort to build a global international postal express delivery hub and smooth international and domestic logistics channels.
The planning blueprint is being transformed into people's livelihood reality at an accelerated pace. Qiaokou District will plan to launch the construction of the Duofu Road Pedestrian Bridge and the Hanzheng Balcony, and explore new scenarios such as low-altitude emergency transportation of medical supplies; the Yangtze River New Area will promote the "Western Expansion of the Port Area" of Yangluo Port and promote the upgrade from a "transportation hub" to an "economic hub". In terms of element guarantees, the Wuhan Municipal Bureau of Natural Resources and Urban Construction has included all 163 transportation projects that require spatial guarantees into the "one map" of national land and space planning. Through the "quick approval and quick guarantee" mechanism, the Wuhan hub through line project land use only takes 4 months from registration to submission, fully ensuring the early landing and early start of major projects.
