Sichuan-Tibet railway plan approved: Ya'an to Linzhi section of the total investment of 319.8 billion, all borne by the state
On September 30, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) issued a "Report on the Feasibility Study of the Ya'an-Linzhi Section of the New Sichuan-Tibet Railway ". At present, the section from Chengdu to Ya'an of Sichuan-Tibet Railway has been opened to traffic, the section from Linzhi to Lhasa is under construction, and Ya' an to Linzhi is the last section of Sichuan-Tibet Railway that has not yet started.
The Sichuan-Tibet Railway, known as the "Century Project ", is a fast railway connecting Sichuan Province and the Tibet Autonomous region. It is the second" Tianlu "after the Qinghai-Tibet Railway and one of the trunk railways in southwest China.
Sichuan-Tibet Railway can be divided into three sections: Chengdu to Ya'an, Ya' an to Linzhi, Linzhi to Lhasa. Chengdu to Ya'an section has been opened on December 28,2018. The Linzhi-Lhasa section began at the end of 2014, and on September 20 this year, the Tibetan-Mu Yalu Zangbo River double-line super bridge was completed and is expected to be completed and opened to traffic next year.
The Ya'an-Linzhi railway, which has not yet started, has an elevation drop of more than 4000 meters, bridge-tunnel ratio is more than 80%, strong plate activities, strong mountain disasters and fragile ecological environment. This section of the railway was approved by the NDRC, meaning that the Sichuan-Tibet Railway line is within reach.
The report shows the design speed of the Ya' an to Linzhi section of the Sichuan-Tibet Railway is 120 to 200 kilometers per hour, starting from the existing Ya'an Station of the Chengdu-Ya'an Railway, which will be connected to the Lhasa-Linzhi Railway under construction through Ganzi, Changdu and Linzhi, with a new main line of 1011 kilometers and a total of 26 stations on the whole line, with two operation and support bases in Chengdu and Linzhi.
Ya'an to Linzhi railway project estimated total investment is about 319.8 billion yuan, including land demolition costs 6.7 billion yuan. The NDRC mentioned that the project is entirely funded by the state, which is extremely rare in railway construction.
On general, trunk railway construction fund consists of three parts: the central government budget investment, the local government investment and the National Railway Group self-financing. The central government does not undertake the investment of intercity railway. In the investment of Chengdu to Ya'an section and Lhasa to Linzhi section of Sichuan-Tibet Railway, there are shares of local governments and National Railway Group. It's rare that Ya' an to Linzhi section is such a completely state-funded railway.
According to the NDRC's previous approval, the total investment of Chengdu-Ya'an section of Sichuan-Tibet Railway is 4.165 billion yuan, the total investment of Lhasa-Linzhi section is 36.6 billion, plus 319.8 billion of Ya' an to Linzhi section, and the total investment of Sichuan-Tibet Railway is more than 360 billion.
Sichuan-Tibet Railway Co., Ltd. was formally established on January 10,2020, with a registered capital of 200 billion yuan, 100% held by China National Railway Group Co., Ltd.
