2026年9月16日，总投资约727亿元、可通航5000吨级船舶的平陆运河正式通航。中国西南地区迎来运距最短、最经济便捷的出海通道。
On 16 September, 2026, the Pinglu Canal, built with a total investment of approximately RMB 72.7 billion and capable of accommodating vessels of up to 5,000 tons, was officially opened to navigation. Southwestern China has thereby secured its shortest, most cost-efficient, and most convenient seaward corridor.
西南地区的货物经此出海，比经广州港，内河航程缩短560公里以上，综合物流成本预计下降18%至30%，每年节省运输费用52亿元以上。
Cargo originating from southwestern China and shipped via this new route will shorten the inland waterway route by more than 560 kilometers compared with the traditional route through Guangzhou Port. Overall logistics costs are projected to fall by 18% to 30%, saving over RMB 5.2 billion in transportation expenses each year.
工程团队在沿线布局了马道、企石、青年三大航运枢纽。综合计算，三座枢纽一年可节水超10亿立方米，极大缓解了西江流域水资源压力。
The engineering team constructed three major navigation hubs along the route: Madao, Qishi, and Qingnian. Taken together, the three hubs are able to save more than one billion cubic meters of water each year, greatly easing pressure on water resources in the Xijiang River basin.
平陆运河，不是简单地在地图上画一条线，而是重塑山河，彻底改变大西南乃至内陆腹地通江达海的出海大格局！
The Pinglu Canal is not merely a line drawn on a map. Through reshaping mountains and rivers, it fundamentally transforms the seaward access pattern for southwestern China and the broader inland hinterland!
