At the end of 2023, the province's high-speed rail will have "frequent good news". In December last year, the Shandong section of the Jizheng high-speed railway was completed, and the new Shandong-Henan channel was opened to traffic; The Lairong high-speed railway was put into operation, and the rail network of the Jiaodong Economic Circle was supplemented. In mid-to-late December, the Jizao high-speed railway, which connects the provincial capital economic circle and the Lunan economic circle, started construction to relieve pressure on the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway; The Weisu high-speed railway started construction at the end of the year, and the Shandong section of the Beijing-Shanghai Second Corridor entered the stage of full construction.
With the continuous opening of new lines, the density and accessibility of Shandong high-speed rail have increased, and the transportation structure has developed for the better. Zhang Ruhua, associate professor of Qilu Transportation College of Shandong University and director of the Transportation Planning and Design Research Center of Shandong University, said that the construction of "Shandong on the track" also needs more high-speed rail lines and a dense railway network.
Shandong Province ** work report mentioned that this year will promote Xiongshang, Jibin, Jinwei, Weisu and other 7 high-speed rail projects, the Weiyan high-speed railway, the high-speed rail mileage exceeded 3,000 kilometers.
2024 is also a year full of surprises. Zhang Ruhua believes that the Weiyan high-speed railway is a highlight of this year, not only to make the mileage to a new level, but also to achieve a closed loop in the Jiaodong Economic Circle, making up for the shortcomings of the low railway accessibility between districts and counties. The Xiongshang high-speed railway and the Weisu high-speed railway have added new north-south passages to Shandong, and the three major economic circles in the province are more closely connected; From the north to the south, the status of the regional hub connecting the east and the west has also been consolidated.
