□ how is the expressway quality problem solved? □ does Henan need so many expressways? □ does the highway spend too much financial money? □ what is the benefit of social investment in highway construction? □ do you not pay enough attention to rural roads

in August last year, the provincial CPPCC organized members of the national and provincial CPPCC to inspect key projects in our province. Eight of the 10 inspection delegations mentioned the quality of highways in their speeches

recently, the Standing Committee of the provincial people's Congress organized some deputies of the national and provincial people's congresses to inspect key projects in the province. In addition to mentioning the quality of highways again, deputies to the National People's Congress also mentioned several other issues of widespread concern in the society

first question: how is the expressway quality problem solved

deputies to the National People's Congress: the quality problem is not only concerned by people in Henan Province, but also by people from other provinces. Passengers complain that they pay money for high-speed two-way roads, but take low-speed one-way roads

Provincial Department of transportation: at present, there are large-scale maintenance and poor traffic conditions of expressways in Henan Province, some of which were caused by artificially shortening the construction period of expressways at that time, cutting corners in some sections and serious vehicle overloading after completion, and some sections were under normal overhaul. At present, a number of administrative officials and heads of construction enterprises have been dealt with by Party and government discipline, and some have been transferred to judicial organs, for serious quality problems in xuluo, Anxin and other expressways

the provincial government attaches great importance to the quality of highways. Last year, the provincial government issued the notice on Further Strengthening the supervision and management of highway construction quality, and the Provincial Department of transportation also successively issued documents such as the measures for investigation of highway construction quality in Henan Province (for Trial Implementation), the detailed rules for the quality management of highway construction projects in Henan Province, and the measures for reporting and rewarding the quality of key transportation infrastructure construction in Henan Province, In addition, it is strict in the work and some indicators exceed that of silver. It insists that unqualified materials are not allowed to enter the site; Incompetent personnel shall be resolutely expelled from the site; Unqualified projects will be resolutely pushed down and restarted for high-speed mixing; The team that fails to perform the contract will resolutely decompose the task until it is expelled. Strictly control the quality through an iron wrist. In the first half of this year, the provincial highway construction quality has been greatly improved. Second question: does Henan need so many expressways

deputies to the National People's Congress: in recent years, Henan's highways have developed rapidly, which has contributed to the economic and social development of the province. But Henan has a lot to do. Is it necessary to plan so many highways

Provincial Department of transportation: Henan must speed up the development of highways, which is determined by the objective situation and the needs of economic and social development. The first is the need to give play to Henan's regional advantages. Henan is geographically located in the center of the country, and its GDP has ranked fifth in the country for many years, while the mileage of expressway traffic only ranks eighth in the country. Shandong Expressway adjacent to our province has been opened to traffic for more than 3000 kilometers. The second is the need to promote the rapid and healthy economic development of the province. According to experts' estimates, in 2003, Henan's highway investment can drive the province's GDP growth by about 0.65 percentage points. It is expected that the highway investment in 2004 will drive more GDP growth. At the same time, every 100million yuan of highway investment can also create more than 6800 employment opportunities for the society

third question: does the highway spend too much financial money

deputies to the National People's Congress: now Henan's financial resources are still relatively tight, and many people worry: is the highway spending too much financial money

Provincial Department of transportation: in 2003, the provincial government issued the notice on deepening the reform of transportation construction management system, fully liberalizing the expressway investment market in our province, enabling social and private capital to enter smoothly, solving the contradiction of long-term shortage of highway construction funds, and providing sufficient financial guarantee for accelerating the development of highway undertakings. At present, the effect is satisfactory. In 2003, 16 new expressway projects started, with a total planned investment of 25.4 billion yuan, of which government direct investment accounted for only 0.5%, other social investment accounted for 99.5%, and among other investments, private enterprise investment accounted for 24%. In 2004, all the 19 new projects were constructed through social financing, and the government did not invest, realizing the strategic transfer of highway construction from government investment to social financing. Fourth, what is the benefit of social investment in highway construction

deputies to the National People's Congress: attracting social investment is bound to involve the income of investing in roads. The outside world doesn't seem to know much about this

Provincial Department of transportation: Henan is a necessary place to enter the East and exit the west, and to travel from south to north. The economic and social benefits of investing in the construction of key roads in Henan are also very obvious. For example, from January to July this year, the province completed the collection of highway tolls of 4.721 billion yuan, 66.7% of the annual plan, an increase of 66.6% over the same period last year. Among them, the toll collection of expressways was 2.965 billion yuan, an increase of 89.3% compared with the same period last year. The vehicle purchase tax was 1.08 billion yuan from January to June, an increase of 36.6% over the same period last year. As for some sections, it is expected that the traffic flow will not be large and the benefits will not be too high. We also do not encourage recent investment and construction. Five questions: is it not enough to pay attention to rural roads

deputies to the National People's Congress: they often say, "if you want to be rich, build roads first.". In recent years, the pace of urbanization in our province has accelerated, but the rural population of the province is still 70million. The development of rural areas and county economy cannot be separated from the development of transportation. In this regard, the rural road construction, is not enough attention

Provincial Department of transportation: in the past, due to limited financial resources, the investment in rural infrastructure construction in our province was limited. In recent years, our province has increased the investment in rural road construction year by year. In 2001, the investment in rural roads was 1.9 billion yuan, 3.5 billion yuan in 2002, and 4billion yuan for social responsibility and contribution in 2003. This year, 5billion yuan is planned to be completed. Among them, the investment in provincial transportation fees increased from more than 100million yuan in 2002 to 600million yuan in 2003, and 1billion yuan is planned to be invested this year

raising the subsidy standard of rural roads has effectively promoted the construction of rural roads. In 2002, the subsidy per kilometer of rural roads was 15000 ~ 30000 yuan, and in 2003, the subsidy per kilometer of rural roads was increased to 50000 ~ 80000 yuan. In addition, at present, the Provincial Department of transportation is reporting to the provincial government that the largest field of polyurethane for vehicles is the reform plan for the maintenance system of trunk roads studied and formulated by the automobile seat government, which will promote the maintenance of trunk roads and improve the excellent rate of trunk roads
