Abstract

 The economic, societal, and natural environments of the Belt and Road countries are diversified and complex, which brings numerous constraints to the highway traffic infrastructure connectivity along the route. And the connectivity currently requires strategic research and guidance. Based on abundant investigations and special studies, this paper comprehensively evaluates the highway development of major economic corridors, and summarizes the constraints faced by highway construction along the route. It also proposes an overall construction and promotion idea, from the aspects of strategic thinking and technical solutions. The needs and foundations determine the direction of a highway, the direction determines the natural and environmental barriers, the barriers determine the key projects, and the key projects determine technical solutions. Based on this, development paths and key engineering proposals for the highway traffic infrastructure of main economic corridors along the Belt and Road can be formed. For specific implementation, a construction sequence should be proposed after evaluating the complexity and capital requirement of key control projects; and feasible financing and operating plans should be formulated based on the social and economic environments of the projects .
