Since the beginning of the year, CR has earnestly implemented the Central Committee's decision to actively expand domestic demand. Leveraging the investment in railway construction to stimulate growth, it has been advancing the key railway projects defined in the 14th Five-Year Plan with high quality. CR has undertaken a series of projects to enhance network connectivity, fill gaps, and strengthen links, emphasizing safety, quality, investment, and environmental controls, ensuring a positive trend in railway construction.
Since May, the connection line from Yanjiagou to Yuhuangmiao on the Haolebaoji-Ji'an Railway has opened for operation, ensuring interconnectivity between the Haolebaoji-Ji'an Railway and Baotou-Xi'an Railway—two major coal transport corridors. The Hangzhou-Wenzhou High Speed Railway has begun integrated testing and commissioning, with its opening imminent. The Desheng Tunnel, a critical control project for the Zhenjiangguan-Huangshengguan section of the Sichuan-Qinghai Railway, has been completed. The Meizhou-Longchuan High Speed Railway has finished track laying, and the Jining-Datong-Yuanping High Speed Railway has also commenced full-length track laying. The Wuhan-Yichang section of the Shanghai-Chongqing-Chengdu High Speed Railway has achieved full tunnel penetration, while significant progress has been made on other key projects such as the Chaohu-Ma'anshan Intercity Railway's Ma'anshan Yangtze River Rail-Road Bridge and the Ningbo-Zhoushan Railway's Jintang Undersea Tunnel.
Moving forward, CR will focus on serving major regional development strategies, continuing to act as a pioneer in high-quality railway planning and construction. It aims to further enhance the interconnectivity of railway infrastructure, improve the overall functionality and efficiency of the railway network, and actively contribute to consolidating and boosting the positive momentum of economic recovery.
