Xuyan railway opened to traffic: "golden belt" accelerates the integration of Northern Jiangsu into Yangtze River Delta

The Xuyan railway officially opened today, starting in Xuzhou and ending in Yancheng, with a total length of 315.55 km and a design speed of 250 km / h. The opening of Xuyan railway ended the history of high-speed railway in Huaian and Suqian of Northern Jiangsu. This "golden belt" in Northern Jiangsu, together with the Yantong railway and Shanghai to Shanghai railway, will constitute an important auxiliary channel for the south section of Beijing Shanghai high speed railway and an important part of the national coastal railway. It is of great significance to accelerate the integration of Northern Jiangsu into the Yangtze River Delta. The

Xuyan railway connects Xuzhou, Suqian, Huai'an and Yancheng, and further shortens the space-time distance between the cities along the line and the central cities of the Yangtze River Delta. According to the statistics, it has a population of 26 million, greatly facilitating the travel of residents along the northern Jiangsu area. Due to historical and geographical reasons, the level of economic and social development in the north of Jiangsu province lags behind that in the south of Jiangsu Province for a long time. This time, the opening of Xuyan railway has greatly made up for the "short board" in the development of Northern Jiangsu railway, injected fresh "blood" into the economic development of Northern Jiangsu, while the road access is fully accessible, accelerating the free flow of people, logistics and capital in Northern Jiangsu. The opening of Xuyan will provide a strong impetus for the economic revival of the northern Jiangsu Province. The opening of a 6031 a 6031 Xu Yan made the northern Jiangsu area integrate into the Yangtze River Delta economic circle in a real sense. The time of Huaian, Suqian and other cities in Northern Jiangsu to reach Nanjing and Shanghai has been shortened. In this era of time capital, reducing time cost is conducive to promoting the development of competition and cooperation between cities, and pulling Northern Jiangsu into the radiation circle of "city effect". Efficient traffic allocation can promote the coordinated development of Northern Jiangsu Province, and it is also the necessary condition for the sustainable development of regional economy and environment. With more convenient transportation, we can further promote the complementary advantages of the north, the middle and the south of Jiangsu, their respective advantages and common development. After the opening of the

Xuyan railway, the Beijing Shanghai high-speed railway, which is one of the "eight vertical and eight horizontal" high-speed railway networks of the state, can be connected to Beijing through the Beijing Shanghai connecting line; the new Eurasian land bridge high-speed railway channel, which is one of the "eight vertical and eight horizontal" high-speed railway networks of the state, can be connected to the west through the Xulan high-speed railway. The national railway network has been further developed and improved, ushering in a new round of development opportunities for the "connectivity" and "connectivity" of the national economy.

it can be predicted that with the continuous enhancement of the comprehensive national strength, the intensity and density of the railway construction in China will be more and more large, just like the realization of Xuyan railway. The "railway network" will be extended to all parts of the motherland, so as to truly enable the people of the whole country to benefit from it and help realize the dream of national rejuvenation as soon as possible.
