As an essential component of Jiaxing's central urban area, the development of Xiuzhou district is intrinsically linked to the enhancement of the city's core functions. Aligning with the objective of strengthening the main urban zone, Xiuzhou has adopted a systematic and multi-dimensional approach. It is solidifying the economic foundation through high-quality industrial projects and expanding the urban framework with major transportation initiatives, thereby providing robust industrial support and a well-structured transport network. This strategy injects powerful momentum from the western flank into the overall quality improvement of Jiaxing's central urban area.
Strengthening the Industrial Foundation
Industry forms the bedrock of urban development and is a crucial force driving the qualitative expansion of a main urban zone. Xiuzhou is leveraging a series of high-caliber industrial projects to reinforce its economic base, fostering mutual promotion between industry and the city for reciprocal empowerment.
During the summer, the district is witnessing a surge in activity at major industrial project sites, brimming with vitality and rapid progress. "The project is currently clearing excess earth, and site leveling is concluding orderly. We are about to enter the full-scale piling construction phase," said Chen Chao, Chief Operating Officer of Yiduo Technology (Suzhou) Co., Ltd., at the site of the project to produce 2.1 million 12-inch semiconductor glass substrates annually. He pointed to the largely leveled land.
It is understood that 12-inch semiconductor glass substrates are key core materials in advanced semiconductor packaging, with broad market applications and continuously surging industry demand. For a long time, core technologies and market share in this field have been highly monopolized by foreign enterprises, creating a critical bottleneck hindering the domestic advanced packaging industry's autonomy, control, and upgrade. The launch of Yiduo Technology's high-end semiconductor glass substrate project precisely aligns with the domestic semiconductor industry's trend towards localization and import substitution. It represents a key step for Xiuzhou in strengthening its high-end intelligent manufacturing industrial chain and refining its strategic emerging industry layout.
With a total investment exceeding 1 billion yuan and covering 64 mu of land, the project will construct two standardized production plants and supporting auxiliary facilities. It will fully introduce internationally advanced production equipment and mature process technologies, aiming to build a modern, high-end glass substrate intelligent manufacturing base integrating R&D innovation, large-scale production, and professional testing. Upon completion and operation, the project is expected to achieve an annual production capacity of 2.1 million 12-inch semiconductor glass substrates and create over 300 new jobs.
"We plan to complete the main structure of one building by the end of this year, striving for early completion, operation, and results," Chen Chao stated. After the project becomes operational, it will effectively fill the regional gap in high-end semiconductor materials, break foreign technological monopolies, provide stable domestic core material support for China's advanced semiconductor packaging industry, and aid in achieving autonomy, control, quality improvement, and upgrade within the semiconductor industry chain and supply chain.
Behind the efficient project advancement lies the precise empowerment and full-cycle support from Jiaxing National Hi-tech Zone. To ensure smooth project implementation, the zone established a dedicated service team. It provides "one-on-one" exclusive services throughout the entire process, focusing on project对接, approval, and construction推进. This efficient and precise "Hi-tech Speed" helps resolve bottlenecks and difficulties in project construction, safeguarding the落地生根 and accelerated progress of major industrial projects.
Expanding the Transportation Framework
Transportation forms the skeleton of urban expansion and serves as the pioneering engine for elevating regional capabilities. As a major project under Zhejiang Province's "Thousand Projects, Trillion Investment" initiative, the Zha-Jia-Su Expressway expansion and renovation project addresses public travel needs and alleviates the daily burden of 70,000 vehicles on overloaded sections—a heartwarming民生工程. More importantly, it is a key breakthrough in打破spatial barriers within the expressway network and reshaping Xiuzhou's main urban layout. The project's advancement effectively打通es urban development barriers and畅通s internal regional connections, providing solid transportation support for Xiuzhou to optimize its urban spatial layout,激活zone development vitality, and提升overall development capacity.
It is reported that the project is being constructed to the high standard of a dual eight-lane expressway. It focuses on elevating and renovating approximately 7 kilometers of road in the Xiuzhou urban section, innovatively adopting a three-dimensional交通模式of "elevated upper level + urban road lower level." It also同步新增s the Xiuhu interchange to achieve seamless integration and interconnection between the expressway network and city roads. This three-dimensional elevation renovation will not only significantly提升expressway traffic efficiency and alleviate congestion but also fundamentally破除the physical spatial barrier created by the expressway to the city.
Recently, the Zha-Jia-Su Expressway expansion SG02 section reached a significant milestone. The first cap beam for Pier #4 of the Xiuzhou Interchange B Ramp Bridge was successfully completed, marking the official start of standardized, large-scale construction for the project's bridge substructures. The successful completion of this first cap beam sets a standardized benchmark for subsequent bridge engineering and accumulates成熟施工经验.
With接连突破in key节点工程, the project construction has accelerated, laying a solid foundation for speeding up and improving quality across the entire line for早日通车投用.
The 524 National Highway project from Wangjiangjing to Xincheng in Xiuzhou, also under close关注, has entered a construction "fast lane." "To date, the overall project progress has reached about 80%, with the more technically challenging bridge engineering portion completed at 93%. The project is currently focused on the既定目标of completing the main structure by the end of 2026, seizing the黄金施工期, scheduling tasks倒排, and压茬推进to全力攻坚remaining construction tasks," said a relevant负责人from the District Communications Investment Group. As a quality improvement project for a crucial regional trunk highway, its efficient推进will further完善Xiuzhou's全域干线road network system,畅通township linkages and internal-external traffic脉络, effectively提升regional traffic capacity and accessibility, and打通交通要道for coordinated全域development and integrated urban-rural development.
While打通ing external main arteries, Xiuzhou is also畅通ing internal微循环. Alongside搭建the city's development "大骨架," the district continues to refine its urban支路network,不断完善the urban交通肌理. At the renovation site of Dade Road (from Dongsheng West Road to Yizhuang Road section), half the road is closed for construction with various tasks proceeding orderly in a热火朝天scene. It is understood that the Dade Road renovation is a核心项目within the Canal Bay New City's "Four Horizontal, Three Vertical" road improvement project, with construction持续至the end of 2026. The entire "Four Horizontal, Three Vertical" road network project is预计to be fully completed and open to traffic by the end of June 2027. Upon completion, it will彻底打通the traffic微循环within the Canal Bay New City area, effectively分流main road traffic pressure, further优化the internal road network structure,提升road通行品质, and赋能增效the new city's functional quality improvement, living environment upgrade, and high-quality片区development.
Moving forward, Xiuzhou will持续锚定the goal of建强the main urban zone, adhering to the principle that projects are paramount and实干为要. It will全速推进industrial upgrades, road network quality improvements, and urban renewal,持续放大the叠加效应of industry-city integration,持续擦亮the developmental底色of Jiaxing's main urban western flank, and注入Xiuzhou动能into the high-quality development of Jiaxing's central urban area.
