The Ministry of Natural Resources has given the green light for the land needed for four major transport projects that run through Yichang. The three highways and the new high-speed railway will inject fresh momentum into regional development.

The Wuhan-Yichang section of the Shanghai-Chongqing Expressway project, which stretches 268 kilometers, will upgrade intercity connections between Wuhan, Xiaogan, Xiantao, Qianjiang, Jingzhou and Yichang.

The 54.4 kilometer Jingmen-Yichang section of the Wuhan-Chongqing Expressway will pass through Danyang, Zhijiang and Yiling in Yichang, as well as Shayang in Jingmen.

The 88.6 kilometer Yichang section of the Xiangyang-Yichang Expressway will go through Yuan’an, Dangyang and Yiling.

The Yichang-Changde High-speed Railway, designed for a top speed of 350 kilometers per hour, is part of the Hohhot-Nanning line. The 46.23 kilometer Yichang section is slated to pass through Wujiagang, Dianjun, Changyang and Yidu.
