March 9 (Rednet Shaoyang Station) – On March 6, our reporter learned from the construction headquarter that according to the plan arrangement of China Railway Construction Corporation and Hunan Province, 8.4 billion yuan will be spent in 2015 on the construction of Huaihua-Shaoyang-Hengyang Railway, so that over 40% of the projects related to bridges, tunnels and substructure of all the stations will be completed and all the work for land expropriation and house removal will be accomplished.
It is said that along the whole Shaoyang rail section with a designed running speed of 200 km per hour, there will be 8 stations to be established: Jiangkou, Dongkou, Shixiajiang, Longhui, Shaoyang West, Shaoyang, Shaoyang East and Shaodong and there will be 5 pairs of bullet trains running between Huaihua and Shaoyang and 7 pairs between Shaoyang and Hengyang. At the time when Huaihua-Shaoyang-Hengyang Railway is open to traffic, a total of 28 pairs of trains will start or stop at Shaoyang Station. Huaihua-Shaoyang-Hengyang Railway, co-constructed by China Railway Construction Corporation and Hunan Province, is jointly administered by their joint venture company — Huaihua- -Shaoyang-Hengyang Railway Co., Ltd.， which is responsible for the whole construction and operation management.
Construction of Huaihua-Shaoyang-Hengyang Railway started in 2014, and 3.132 billion yuan has been spent on the project, including 0.857 billion yuan on investment in construction and installation, 1.532 billion yuan on land expropriation and house removal and 0.403 billion yuan on the construction of four-track sections between Loudi and Shaoyang. Up to now, most of the preliminary work with respect to mixing stations, laboratories, plants for steel structure, construction roads, construction power supplies has been accomplished, 254 of the entire 975 work spots (26% of the total of projects) has been started, 11040 mu of land for the whole line (66% of the design requirement) and 7576 mu for the Shaoyang section (77.5% of the design requirement) have been handed over, 3472 mu for temporary ground (57.8 of the design requirement) has been dealt with, and 197,981 square meters of housing (35% of the design requirement) has been demolished.
2015 is the key year for the construction of Huaihua-Shaoyang-Hengyang Railway. According to the arrangements made by China Railway Construction Corporation and Hunan Province, 8.4 billion yuan is invested this year to accomplish over 40% of the construction work for bridges, tunnels, substructure of stations and all the work for land expropriation and house removal.
Huaihua-Shaoyang-Hengyang Railway, starting from Huaihua in the west and ending at Hengyang in the east, will be a country-level electrified railway used for both passengers and freight, with a design speed of 200 kilometer per hour after it is completed in four and a half years. The railway, totally 318 kilometers long, will connect Jing-Guang High Speed Railway at Hengyang East Station and Shanghai-Kunming High Speed Railway at Huaihua South Station, with 16 stations altogether, including Huanhua South Station, Shaoyang Station and Yanjialong Station.
Since Huaihua-Shaoyang-Hengyang Railway is a train line that connects Beijing-Guangzhou rail way in the east and Shanghai-Kunming High Speed Railway in the west, it can help the economic zones along railways of Beijing-Guangzhou, Luoyan-Zhanjiang, Jiaozuo-Liuzhou be connected to form a quickest transportation corridor so that the underdeveloped northwest and southwest of China can be connected to the developed southeast coastal areas and the Pearl River delta, and therefore, construction of the railway is of a great importance to the national strategy of Rise of Central China and Development in the Western Regions.
