(2) Internal Transportation Plan
The internal roads of TEDA WEST adopt grid structure, which are parallel with the external roads including Beijin-Tianjin-Tanggu Expressway, Jinbin Expressway, YangBei public road, JinQi public road extension, Hangang public road, and Zhongxinzhuang road. Some of the above roads, either passing through TEDA WEST, or passing by the area, are designed to make some sectional re-arrangement so that they could be reached by encompassing the internal backbones. Briefly speaking, the internal transportation network is a grid structure with sub-level roads in different locations as supplement.
In order to enhance the internal transportation, TEDA WEST also plans to build an internal railway circuit.
Investment Promotion
