Hebei province has announced a comprehensive plan to enhance its transportation infrastructure during the 15th Five-Year Plan period (2026-30), aiming to bolster connectivity within the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. Key projects include the construction of the Tanglang (Tangshan-Langfang) Expressway, set to begin in 2026, which will divert traffic from Beijing’s ring expressways, thereby reducing congestion in the capital. Additionally, the Langzhuo (Langfang-Zhuozhou) Expressway is being expanded from four to eight lanes, with completion expected by 2027, which will significantly improve the capacity and efficiency of the region’s transportation network. Another major initiative is the Jingwu (Beijing-Wuhan) Expressway, which will create a 314-kilometer high-speed corridor through Hebei, with construction slated to start in 2027. The G335 highway upgrade, currently underway, will enhance links between Zhangjiakou and Beijing upon its completion in 2027. These projects build on the progress made during the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-25), which saw the addition of 18 expressway segments connecting Hebei with Beijing and Tianjin, bringing the total number of inter-provincial or city trunk roads to 54 segments with 80 interfaces. These developments are expected to further regional coordination and provide more efficient travel options for residents across the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.
