The "Thirteenth Five" witnesses the key period when the implementation of developing strategy was driven by innovation, the reform of science and technology was deepened profoundly, and the industry innovation system construction was strengthened intensively. At present, global sci- tech n and industrial revolution is conceived a new breakthrough, while China's economic has been developed into a new normal level. Transportation, as the pioneer of the economic and social development, which is carried with multi missions that it should served the national strategies with fast transformation and acceleration, confronts a series of problems of sci-tech innovation.
Therefore, the Ministry of Transport of the P R C issued 10 important technical aspects and policies, which based upon the comprehensive data, international benchmarking, concise reviews and comment.
The proposal includes ten parts, covering many areas of highway, waterway, ports’ construction and operation. It is of great significance to reserve policy and technology, to improve the scientific management level of industry management, as well as to promote the system of transport modernization and governance ability.

Climate and geological conditions are very complicated in the western regions. The tectonic movement is extensive, so the major geological disasters frequently happen, while, the formation and development of the geological disasters are very complex. At present, in the transportation industry, the monitoring and control over highway geological disasters has not yet formed as a system, which, therefore, is needed urgently to construct, and constantly, to improve level of prediction and protection. This is in turn an effective support to the scientific control and emergency rescue.

On April 28, 2015, the Ministry of Transportation declared to host the 524th meeting of the Xiangshan Scientific Meeting "China Bridge Technology Development Strategy". Experts, based on problem and goals oriented, made profound analysis of the gap between China and other leading Countries in the aspects as followed: bridge design theory and design specifications, super long span bridge design and its construction, the old bridge detection and evaluation and maintenance reinforcement and bridge maintenance management and the bridge power. In the end, they proposed the suggestions on the national bridge technological development in the future. The leaders, who attached great importance to the recommendations of the experts, will insist the principle of " innovation is the drive, and construction and maintenance are of the same importance” to manufacture intelligently. Under the guidance of technological policies, we accelerate to develop the following aspects: large span bridge design, large-scaled, factory and standardized construction. Hence, we can produce high strength and light weight materials with the technology of quick repair and reinforcement, which laid a solid foundation for our country to become a leading bridge power as soon as possible.
Factory and Standardized Construction is the future direction of super long span bridges.
