CCTV News: Since 2023, the national railway fixed assets investment has grown steadily. A number of key construction projects have been solidly promoted, further weaving the "eight vertical and eight horizontal" high-speed rail network to assist regional coordinated development.
The Guinan High speed Railway from Guiyang to Libang has recently officially opened for operation, ending the history of no railway access along the line.
The Libo Nanning section of the Guinan high-speed railway is currently in trial operation, and it is expected that the entire Guinan high-speed railway will be opened within this year. The travel time from Guiyang to Nanning on the railway will be reduced from 5 hours to 2 hours.
From January to July 2023, the fixed assets investment of national railways will reach 371.3 billion yuan, up 7% year on year. A number of major engineering projects identified in the 14th Five Year Plan have been solidly promoted. The Chengdu Yibin high-speed railway has completed track laying, and the Guangzhou Shantou high-speed railway and the Shanghai Nanjing Yangtze River high-speed railway have started joint debugging and testing.
As of now, the main channels of China's "eight vertical and eight horizontal" high-speed rail network have been completed and put into operation for 35300 kilometers, accounting for about 77.83%; Construction is underway for 7025 kilometers, accounting for approximately 15.49%.
In 2023, it is expected that more than 3000 kilometers of new railway lines will be put into operation nationwide, and a batch of new lines will be put into operation from Fuzhou to Xiamen, from Nanchang to Jingdezhen to Mount Huangshan, and from Tianjin to Daxing International Airport, injecting new impetus into the coordinated development of regional economy and society.
