Fuping railway is expected to be open to traffic in October 2020

After the closure of Pingtan Strait highway and railway bridge, Fuzhou Pingtan railway made another breakthrough on October 18: after four and a half hours of blockade construction, the connection line of Fuping railway to Fuzhou Station was successfully completed at 4:00 a.m. that day, laying a solid foundation for the integration of Fuping railway into Fujian rapid railway network.

Fuping railway is the extension line of Hefei Fuzhou high-speed railway and an important part of Beijing Taiwan high-speed railway in the future. It starts from Fuzhou Station, crosses Gushan, Minjiang River, introduces Fuzhou South Station, then crosses Wulong River to Changle City, and then crosses Renyu island and Changyu island through pingtanhaixia highway rail bridge, with a total length of 88.433 km.

the connection line of Fuping railway is introduced to Fuzhou Station for reconstruction, which is the largest blocking construction in the construction process of Fuping railway. Due to the simultaneous blocking construction of the upstream and downstream closure, the whole project has a large amount of work, many cross operations and construction difficulties, involving construction safety, opening of new equipment, revision of technical regulations, adjustment of transportation organization and other comprehensive work. Nearly 1000 construction personnel use the night time to transfer the existing Fuzhou liaison line to both sides at the same time, connect with the new liaison line, and introduce it into Fuzhou railway station. 。 According to the person in charge of

China Railway Nanchang Bureau Group Co., Ltd., Fuzhou railway station will carry out speed up follow-up test for the newly introduced line after the completion of blocking construction. During the test, 80 passenger trains need to adjust the station track, and the station will implement a daily map to ensure the safety and punctuality of the train. Due to the difficulty of the project, the opening time of Fuping railway has been delayed many times. China Railway Nanchang Bureau Group Co., Ltd. also confirmed that Fuping railway is expected to be open to traffic in October 2020.

at that time, after the operation of Fuping railway, Beijing can directly reach the Pingtan comprehensive experimental area nearest to Taiwan's mainland by high-speed rail. (end)
