中国周一启动一项特大航道工程建设，该项目包括世界最大内河船闸，以应对长江航运需求增长。
工程总投资772亿元人民币，约合113亿美元。项目将在三峡大坝北侧新建五级双线船闸，并升级下游小型大坝的通航设施。
建成后，三峡年通过能力将接近翻倍，达到3.36亿吨。开工仪式在湖北省宜昌市举行，由中共中央政治局常委、国务院副总理丁薛祥主持。
新船闸及引航道总长约6680米，预计建设工期超过九年。该设计注重生态保护，包括鱼类通道，并修改原方案以避免影响中华鲟产卵地，额外增加成本20亿元。
这是中国“十五五”规划（2026-2030年）期间首个重大开工项目。经济学家表示，该工程将缓解供应链瓶颈，降低贸易成本。
