The state of Qiandongnan, Qiannan and Qianxinan will get a new 1,150km highway as well as 634km of new rail line, including high-speed routes.

The states will also be served by more air routes and get an expansion of Xingyi Wanfenglin airport as well construction of a new airport, Luodian.

Meanwhile, in China's Anhui province, construction starts in June of the 39.25km highway between Guangde and Ningguo, costing around US$440 million. The work is part of a major infrastructure upgrading plan that includes building Anhui's Wuhu Xuancheng airport.

Construction is expected to start in December on the airport that will have a 2,800m runway and a 10,000m2 terminal building.
