Speed up the construction of Chongqing section of Zhengzhou Wanzhou high speed railway and draw a new blueprint for the economic development of Chongqing and Henan

On October 30, the main arch of Meixi River double track Super Major Bridge in Chongqing section of Zhengzhou Wanzhou high speed railway, which is the largest span of high-speed railway ballastless track through arch bridge under construction in China, was closed smoothly, marking the important progress of the construction of Chongqing section of Zhengzhou Wanzhou high speed railway and laying the foundation for the smooth opening of the whole line.

Zhengzhou Wanzhou high speed railway connects Henan Zhengzhou in the north, Chongqing Wanzhou in the south, passing through Henan, Hubei and Chongqing, with a total length of 818km and a designed driving speed of 350km. It is the main high-speed passenger transport channel connecting North China, central China and southwest China, and an important part of the Beijing Kunming passenger dedicated line

Chongqing is located in the junction of the central and western regions of China. It is adjacent to Hubei and Hunan in the East, Guizhou in the south, Sichuan in the West and Shaanxi in the north. It is an economic, financial, scientific and technological innovation, shipping and trade logistics center in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, as well as an important node city of the national "western development" strategy, and an important connection point between the "belt and road" and the Yangtze River economic belt. However, Chongqing's terrain is complex, mainly hills and mountains, accounting for 76%; the Yangtze River runs across the territory from west to East, which has been said to be "difficult on the Shu Road" since ancient times. Bulk cargo can only rely on the Yangtze River channel to the East. Due to the long shipping time and low efficiency, it is unable to reach the Central Plains. In addition, Southwest China lacks a large channel connecting North China and central China, so the economic development level of the areas along the line is low It is difficult to promote the coordinated development of economy between Chongqing and Henan due to the lag, inconvenient transportation, and unsmooth personnel. The strategy of the rise of the central region and the strategy of the development of the western region cannot be effectively linked Along with the increasing economic and social growth, the existing transportation is difficult to meet the economic exchanges, material transportation and talent flow between Chongqing and Henan. The transportation has become a hindrance to the economic development of Chongqing and Henan. The construction of Zheng Wan high-speed railway will change the way of transportation in Southwest China based on the Yangtze River channel and build a comprehensive transportation hub, which makes Southwest China The regional connection between North China and central China has become a reality, which will greatly promote the economic exchanges, material transportation and talent flow between Chongqing and Henan. At the same time, it will also drive the economic development of the areas along the Zhengzhou Wanzhou high speed railway and enable the people along the railway to catch the fast train of railway development

with the completion of Zhengzhou Wanzhou high speed railway, the space-time distance between Chongqing and Henan is constantly shortening, which will closely link Chengdu Chongqing urban agglomeration and Central Plains urban agglomeration, and become the most convenient transportation channel from Chengdu Chongqing urban agglomeration to Beijing. It will also drive the industrial upgrading and economic growth of the areas along the line, promote the coordinated development between the regional central city and the two urban agglomerations, and optimize Potential complementary. As an important part of Beijing Kunming passenger dedicated line, Zhengzhou Wanzhou high speed railway has opened a crucial section, making the "eight vertical and eight horizontal" high speed railway network framework more sound, and drawing a new blueprint for the economic development of Chongqing and Henan

since then, the Shu Road is no longer difficult to climb the sky! (article / Zhou Xin)
