From January to August 2025, the national railway construction has achieved fruitful results, and fixed assets investment has achieved remarkable results, totaling 504.1 billion yuan, with a year-on-year growth of 5.6%, highlighting the strong momentum of vigorous development of railway construction.

During this period, a number of key railway construction planning projects were promoted with high quality and efficiency, achieving remarkable results. The construction of the Chongqing Xiamen high-speed railway from Chongqing East to Qianjiang, the Zhengzhou Kaifeng intercity railway from Songcheng Road Station to Kaifeng Station, the new Chongqing East Station, and the renovation of Shanghai South Station have been successively completed and put into operation. The completion of these projects is like precise placement on the regional transportation network, further improving the layout of the regional road network, making the connections between regions closer, and providing more convenient channels for personnel flow and material transportation.

The main works of the Shenyang to Baihe section of the Shenyang Jiamusi high-speed railway, the Wuhan to Yichang section of the Shanghai Chongqing Chengdu high-speed railway, and the Chongzuo to Pingxiang section of the Nanning Pingxiang high-speed railway have been successfully completed and entered the stage of equipment commissioning and testing. This means that these routes are one step closer to their official opening and operation, which will significantly improve the transportation efficiency of the areas along the route and promote the coordinated development of regional economy in the future.

At the same time, the preliminary work of projects such as the Yining Aksu Railway in Xinjiang and the Wenzhou Fuzhou High speed Railway is progressing smoothly. The solid progress of the preliminary work has laid a solid foundation for the early commencement and construction of the project, ensuring the successful completion of the 14th Five Year Plan goals and tasks.

The national railway construction from January to August 2025 is steadily advancing towards building a more efficient, convenient, and complete railway transportation network, injecting a continuous stream of power into the high-quality development of the economy and society. Editor/Cheng Liting
