Building a “Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei on Rails”: The Beijing–Xiong’an Expressway is scheduled to open to traffic by the end of the year.
In 2022, the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei transportation integration initiative will continue to advance major infrastructure projects and strengthen physical connectivity of transport infrastructure, with plans to complete the main construction of the Beijing section of the Beijing–Xiong’an Expressway. By the end of this year, the entire Beijing–Xiong’an Expressway is expected to be fully completed and open to traffic, enabling motorists in central Beijing to reach the Xiong’an New Area in as little as one hour. As a result, a “one-hour transportation circle” linking Beijing, Tianjin, Xiong’an, and Baoding has now taken shape.
According to the Beijing Municipal Commission of Transport, since 2014 the transportation authorities of Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei have vigorously advanced integrated transport development. A multi-node, grid-like, fully covered transportation infrastructure network—with rail transit as the backbone—has been steadily established, leading to significant improvements in regional transport organization and service quality. Meanwhile, coordination in areas such as legislation, policies, and standards has continued to deepen, providing strong support for the coordinated development of the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei region.
Building a “Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei on Rails” to create a new regional transportation landscape. In recent years, the Beijing–Tianjin Intercity Railway extension, the Beijing–Zhangjiakou High-Speed Railway, the Beijing–Xiong’an Intercity Railway, and the Beijing–Chengde section of the Beijing–Harbin High-Speed Railway have been completed and opened to traffic. Meanwhile, construction is accelerating on the Urban Subcenter Station hub, as well as Fengtai and Chaoyang railway stations and their supporting transportation hubs, with the aim of swiftly establishing a new integrated transportation framework for the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei region. As a result, rail travel between neighboring cities now generally takes no more than 1.5 hours, and a “one-hour transportation circle” linking Beijing, Xiong’an, Tianjin, and Baoding has already taken shape.
The regional road network has been densified and refined, and integrated transport services continue to innovate. Beijing has launched pilot bus-based operations on six interprovincial routes, including Pinggu–Zunhua and Pinggu–Xinglong, enabling 38 bus routes to operate across municipal boundaries with a total route length of over 2,700 kilometers. These services now carry an average of more than 270,000 passengers per day, serving over 10 counties and cities in the Beijing metropolitan area. The Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei “One Card” system is now interoperable with 288 cities nationwide and is being extended to cover the Xiong’an New Area. In addition, rail transit systems in Beijing and five other cities, including Tianjin and Shanghai, have implemented a unified QR-code fare-payment system. Construction of the main section of the Beijing segment of the Beijing–Xiong’an Expressway was completed this year. Today, a safe, convenient, efficient, green, and cost-effective integrated transport system for the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei region has essentially taken shape. The accelerated development of regional transport integration has sped up the flow and turnover of various production factors across the region, delivering significant benefits for economic growth and industrial structure optimization in the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei area.
The integrated transportation system in the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei region has not only reduced transportation costs and enhanced efficiency across the region, effectively lowering logistics expenses for the three provinces and municipalities and significantly improving the allocation of social resources; it has also supported the development of the Capital Metropolitan Area, leading to a steady increase in the number of cross-regional commuters, a gradual expansion of the commuting radius, and a continuously strengthening radiating influence of the capital’s economy and culture.
This year, the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei transportation integration initiative will not only advance the construction of major projects and strengthen hard connectivity of infrastructure, but also emphasize fostering soft connectivity in areas such as policies, standards, and governance, thereby accelerating balanced regional development through a dual-pronged approach.
In terms of hard connectivity of infrastructure, we will continue to advance the development of a “rail-based Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei” transportation network, coordinate the construction of the Beijing–Tanggu intercity railway and Phase I of the intercity railway connecting lines, and accelerate the construction of the Pinggu Line of the urban rail system. We will also push forward the development of supporting transportation hubs at Chaoyang Station and the Sub-center Station, as well as the extension of Metro Line 3, and ensure the completion and opening to traffic of Fengtai Railway Station. At the same time, we will further enhance the radiating capacity of the road network by completing Tongqing Road and Xitai Road, finishing the main works on the Beijing section of the Beijing–Xiong’an Expressway, and stepping up construction on key projects such as the Chengping Expressway; we will launch a pilot program for customized express bus services between Guomao and the three northern counties of Beijing, with plans to gradually extend this service throughout the areas surrounding Beijing. In addition, we will achieve interconnected water tourism services on the Beijing–Hebei section of the North Canal.
In terms of soft connectivity of institutional rules, Beijing will collaborate with Tianjin and Hebei as well as with China State Railway to launch research on the “four-network integration” of rail transit, covering areas such as integrated transport services, compatibility of technical standards, sharing of resource factors, and alignment of institutional mechanisms. Efforts will also be made to advance the development of technical solutions and standard specifications for suburban railway and urban rail operations. At the same time, plans are being formulated to build a modern metropolitan commuting circle, with an assessment of the feasibility of leveraging lines such as the Beijing–Kowloon, Beijing–Harbin, and Beijing–Guangzhou railways to provide commuter services to the areas surrounding Beijing. Furthermore, ongoing joint efforts will be undertaken with Tianjin and Hebei to address cross-provincial and cross-city transportation violations and infractions, while strengthening in-depth collaboration among the three municipalities in traffic law enforcement and governance.
