China - Shi-Zheng Railway Project
Funahashi,Junko
The development objective of the Shi-Zheng Railway Project for China is to meet growing freight and passenger market demand in the railway corridor between Shijiazhuang and Zhengzhou, while substantially improving the level of service offered to customers. This project aims to significantly expand rail transport capacity by increasing the number of train paths to meet growing freight and passenger market demand in the railway corridor between Shijiazhuang and Zhengzhou. This will be achieved by dedicating the new high-speed line exclusively to passenger services, thereby allowing the freight services to be concentrated on the existing lines. This will increase train services and improve performance standards in both market segments. The project consists of the construction of a new electrified 355 km dedicated high-speed passenger rail line between Shijiazhuang in Hebei Province and Zhengzhou in Henan Province (ShiZheng line). New railway stations will be set up at Shijiazhuang, Gaoyi, Xingtai, Handan, Anyang, Hebi, Xinxiang, and Zhengzhou. The project will remove a major physical bottleneck on growth in containerized and other import-export traffic in China's main north-south railway route. The project will enable railways to retain and also attract traffic that will otherwise be carried mainly by road transport, which will consume substantially more land and energy per traffic unit than rail.
