Today (December 26), the Chengdu-Ziyi high-speed railway (Chengdu, Sichuan to Zigong-Yibin), the Shantou-Shantou high-speed railway (Shantou-Shanwei, Guangdong) Shantou South to Shanwei section and the Longlong high-speed railway (Fujian Longyan to Longchuan, Guangdong) Longyan-Wuping section were put into operation.
into a self-appropriate high-speed railway.
On December 26, the Chengdu-Zigong-Yibin high-speed railway (Chengdu-Ziyi high-speed railway) was completed and opened to traffic.
The Chengdu Ziyi high-speed railway starts from Chengdu East Railway Station, passes through Tianfu New District, Jianyang City, Neijiang City, Zigong City, and arrives in Yibin City, with a total length of 261 kilometers and a design speed of 350 kilometers per hour, with a total of 12 stations on the whole line.
The Chengziyi high-speed railway crosses mountains such as Longquan Mountain and crosses many rivers such as the Yangtze River, which is difficult to construct. Since the construction of the project started in January 2019, China Railway Group has organized all participating units to promote the construction of the project with high quality and efficiency, erected 231 bridges such as the Yibin Lingang Yangtze River Railway Bridge, and completed 29 tunnels such as Longquanshan No. 1 Tunnel, ensuring that the project was opened as scheduled.
At the beginning of operation, the railway department operated up to 16 trains per day, of which the fastest between Chengdu East and Zigong and Yibin stations was 51 minutes and 73 minutes respectively. After the adjustment of the train schedule in the first quarter of 2024, the railway department will also run 4 EMU trains of the "Chengdu East - Zigong - Yibin - Leshan - Chengdu East" South Sichuan Ring Line every day to connect the urban agglomerations in the southern Sichuan region.
Chengziyi high-speed railway is an important connection line and extension line of China's high-speed railway network in southwest China. After the line is put into operation, it will further improve the structure of the regional road network and facilitate the travel of the people along the line, which is of great significance to promote the integrated development of the urban agglomeration in southern Sichuan and the Chengdu metropolitan area.
In addition, the reporter learned that in the future, the Chengdu-Yiyi high-speed railway will be connected to the Chongqing-Kunming high-speed railway under construction from Chongqing to Kunming via Sichuan. At present, the Sichuan-Chongqing section of the Chongqing-Kunming high-speed railway has entered the stage of track fine-tuning and station building construction, and the construction of 54 tunnels and 91 bridges in the Yunnan section has started. After the opening of the Chongqing-Kunming high-speed railway, it will further improve the national comprehensive three-dimensional transportation network, strengthen the connection between the Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Circle and the central Yunnan region, greatly reduce the railway travel time between Chongqing, Chengdu and Kunming, and promote high-quality economic and social development along the line.
