High-speed railway to link Beijing, Shenyang
Online Edition
A high-speed railway linking the Chinese capital of Beijing with Shenyang, capital of northeast China's Liaoning Province, is expected to kick off construction in the first half of 2014.
The 709-km railway will cut travel time between the two cities in half to 2.5 hours, said Tian Limin, a senior manager of the railway project at a conference organized by the Liaoning provincial government today.
The railway is expected to be completed within 5 years with a total investment of 124.5 billion yuan (US$20.4 billion). It is designed with a speed of 350km per hour, said Tian.
After completion of the railway, 13 out of the 14 cities in the province will have high-speed rail connections, said Wang Zhanzhu, head of the Shenyang Railway Bureau.
China's railway network topped 100,000km on Saturday, as several new high-speed rail links started operations ahead of one of the busiest travel seasons next month.
The newly opened links include the Xiamen-Shenzhen railway, the Xi'an-Baoji railway, the Chongqing-Lichuan railway, and others in southwest China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. They have a combined distance of 2,000km.
Of the 100,000km of track, more than 10,000km are highspeed, said Hu Yadong, vice general manager of the China Railway Corporation.
