It is understood that the Hubei section of the Hewu high-speed railway is the first major high-speed railway project to be implemented in Hubei and the first batch of the country in 2023. The total mileage of the high-speed railway in Hubei will reach 3,600 kilometers, ranking fifth in the country. In particular, the total length of the high-speed rail line with a speed of 350 kilometers per hour will reach 2,700 kilometers, ranking third in the country.

Hubei will usher in a new round of railway construction boom. In 2023 and 2024, there will be 10 high-speed railways under construction and planned in Hubei, with a total investment of 330 billion yuan. The number and investment scale of proposed high-speed railway projects rank first in the country.

In the first four months, an investment of 8.8 billion yuan in railway construction was completed

In recent years, the construction of high-speed railway in Hubei is in full swing. The Hanshi high-speed railway, the Huanghuang high-speed railway, and the Hubei section of the Zhengyu high-speed railway have been completed and opened to traffic; the Wuhan-Yichang section of the Yangtze River high-speed railway, the Xi'an-Shiyan high-speed railway, the Xiangyang-Jingmen section of the Hunan high-speed railway, the Jingmen-Jingzhou high-speed railway, and the connecting line of Yichang-Zhengwan high-speed railway, etc. The five high-speed rail projects under construction are progressing smoothly.

After the completion of the five high-speed railways, Xiangyang can easily reach Yichang within 2 hours through the Zhengyu high-speed railway, Yixing connection line or through the Xiangjing high-speed railway and the Wuyi section of the Yanjiang high-speed railway, and Xiangyang can reach Jingzhou in 1 hour... The Xiangyang metropolitan area and Yixing The Jingjing metropolitan area will change the history of high-speed railways that are not connected to each other.

At the same time, Wuhan, Xiangyang, and Yichang will form a golden triangle of high-speed rail, further narrowing the space-time circle of economic development. The communication time between the 17 cities and states in the province will be gradually reduced to about 2 hours.

In 2022, the mileage of high-speed railways in Hubei Province will exceed 2,000 kilometers and reach 2,064 kilometers, and the national ranking will rise from 14th to 8th. Among them, the high-speed rail with a speed of 350 kilometers per hour broke through 1,000 kilometers, reaching 1,161 kilometers.

From January to April 2022, the province's railway construction has completed an investment of 8.8 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 10%. Five projects including the Hefei-Wuhan section of the high-speed railway along the Yangtze River, the Yichang-Fuling section, the Wuhan hub direct line, the Yichang-Changde section of the Hunan high-speed railway, and the Fuyang-Huanggang section of the Beijing-Kowloon high-speed railway have been included in the national annual key railway project start and reserve start plan. The number of projects and investment scale rank first in the country.

Strive to start construction of 4 high-speed railways as soon as possible

With a total length of more than 6,300 kilometers, the Yangtze River is a golden waterway with the largest cargo volume in the world, and a major waterway transportation channel running through the east, middle and west.

The high-speed railway along the river running close to the river is an "iron spine" and a golden belt for economic development. The total length of the Hewu high-speed railway line is 360.5 kilometers, and the total investment of the project is 79.252 billion yuan. Among them, the main line of the Hubei section has a total length of 163.3 kilometers and a total investment of 399.96 billion.

Ma Chunshan, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of the Yangtze River Coastal Railway Group Co., Ltd. believes that the completion of the project will further optimize the comprehensive transportation system structure of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, effectively release the existing Hewu railway transportation capacity, and bring Hubei and the Yangtze River Delta region closer , The space-time distance of the economic circle of the two cities in Chengdu-Chongqing area.

The construction of the Hubei section of the Hebei-Wuhan high-speed railway will expand effective investment with practical actions, consolidate the positive economic recovery, and accelerate the construction of a national pilot zone for building a new development pattern.

Hubei Province will take the start-up and mobilization activities of the Hubei section of the Hebei high-speed railway as a new starting point to comprehensively do a good job in the construction of high-speed railways, and promote the Wuhan hub direct line, the Yichang-Fuling section of the high-speed railway along the Yangtze River, the Yichang-Changde section of the Hunan high-speed railway, and the Fuyang section of the Beijing-Kowloon high-speed railway. The 4 reserve start-up projects including the Huanggang section will be reviewed and approved quickly, and the construction of the 4 high-speed railways will be started as soon as possible.
