The construction of urban transportation in the new era is changing with each passing day. On September 24, 2022, the construction promotion meeting of key high-speed railway projects such as the Shandong section of the Xiongshang high-speed railway and the Jinan connecting line of the Tianjin-Weihai high-speed railway was held in Jinan. The meeting pointed out that in recent years, Shandong has formed a "two horizontal and two vertical" high-speed rail network around Shandong. It is necessary to focus on building a demonstration area of Shandong, a strong transportation country, with the goal of building "Shandong on the track", in accordance with the "internal connection and external connection, moderately advanced". Principles, encryption, speed-up, and channel expansion, and strive to build a modern high-speed rail network covering the whole province and the whole country.

On the same day, the "Announcement of Successful Bidding Candidates for the Construction of the Newly-built Beijing-Xiongan New Area-Shangqiu High-speed Railway Xiongan New Area-Shangqiu Section" was released on the National Public Resource Trading Platform (Beijing). According to information, the construction of the Xiongshang high-speed rail project will officially start construction in October, with a construction period of 4 years. Key high-speed rail projects such as the Shandong section of the Xiongshang high-speed railway and the Jinan connection line of the Tianjin-Weihai high-speed railway are about to start, which means that the construction of "Shandong on the track" has made new progress.

At the promotion meeting of key high-speed rail projects such as the Shandong section of the Xiongshang high-speed railway and the Jinan connection line of the Tianjin-Weihai high-speed railway, the statement that "Shandong has formed a 'two horizontal and two vertical' high-speed rail network around Shandong" is eye-catching. In November 2019, after the official opening and operation of the Lunan (Japan-Lanzhou) high-speed railway, it was connected with the completed Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway, Qingyan railway, Jiqing high-speed railway and Jiaoji passenger train, forming a high-speed railway ring in Shandong Province. Passenger passage, this is the origin of the saying that "Shandong has formed a 'two horizontal and two vertical' ring-Shandong high-speed rail network". Among them, "two horizontal" refers to the Jinan-Qingdao high-speed railway and the Lunan high-speed railway. The Jinan-Qingdao high-speed railway was completed and put into operation in December 2018, and the Lunan high-speed railway is the Shandong section of the Rilan high-speed railway, which will be fully operational in December 2021; "two verticals" , one refers to the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway, which opened to traffic in June 2011, and the other refers to the Qingdao-Rizhao railway section in the coastal passage, which is part of the Qingyan Railway, and the entire line was completed and put into operation in December 2018.

Shandong's high-speed rail construction progresses by leaps and bounds

By the end of 2021, the mileage of high-speed railways will be 2,319 kilometers, ranking third in the country. In April this year, the Shandong Provincial Government Information Office introduced that five projects under construction, including the Jizheng High-speed Railway, the Weiyan High-speed Railway, and the Lai-Rong High-speed Railway, will be accelerated this year, and the construction of the Beijing-Shanghai High-speed Railway Auxiliary Passage from Tianjin to Weifang, Xiongshang High-speed Railway, and Jilin High-speed Railway will start. For the three projects of Binhai high-speed railway, we will strive to start two projects of the Beijing-Shanghai auxiliary channel Weifang to Suqian and Qingdao to Beijing-Shanghai auxiliary channel, and build two projects of the Huangtai connecting line and the Jilai high-speed railway. The high-speed railway mileage will exceed 2,400 kilometers by the end of the year.

In addition to forming the "two horizontal and two vertical" high-speed rail network around Shandong, Shandong will have "several verticals and several horizontals" for future high-speed rail construction, which has already been answered.

In July 2021, the Shandong Provincial People's Government publicly issued the "Notice of Shandong Province's "14th Five-Year Plan" Comprehensive Transportation Development Plan" (Lu Zheng Zi [2021] No. 127), pointing out that four horizontal and five vertical channels should be improved. In June 2022, the Shandong Provincial Government website announced the "Action Plan for the Construction of a Comprehensive Three-dimensional Transportation Network", calling for the acceleration of the formation of ten major channels of "four horizontal and five vertical along the Yellow Sea". Among them, the "four horizontals" refer to: on the basis of basically forming three horizontal channels in the north of Shandong, Jiqing and south of Shandong, speed up the improvement of the horizontal channels in the middle of Shandong, improve the radiant energy of coastal ports and the efficiency of westward railway combined transportation, and actively integrate and jointly build the "Belt and Road". "Quality development; "Five verticals" means: on the basis of basically forming four vertical channels along the coast, Beijing-Shanghai auxiliary, Beijing-Shanghai, and Beijing-Kowloon, speed up the improvement of the coastal vertical channel and strengthen the connection with the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and Yangtze River Delta regions.

According to the "four horizontal and five vertical" plan of Shandong high-speed railway, the "four horizontal" refers to the northern Shandong channel, the Jiqing channel, the central Shandong channel, and the southern Shandong channel. After the "two horizontals" of the Jiqing Passage and the Lunan Passage have been completed, the remaining unfinished "two horizontals" are: the Dezhou-Shanghe high-speed rail in the Lubei Passage, which completed the feasibility study review in September 2020, Determination, preliminary design review, construction drawing review; in addition, "one horizontal" is the "Luzhong Corridor" high-speed rail, the route is: Qingdao to Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway auxiliary channel - Liaocheng to Tai'an to Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway auxiliary channel - Changzhi to Handan to Liaocheng . Among the "Luzhong Corridor", the Qingdao-Beijing-Shanghai high-speed rail auxiliary channel, in March this year, the Rizhao Municipal Government issued the "Rizhao City 2022 Transportation Construction Plan", specifying that the construction period is from November 2022 to November 2025; The latest situation of the section from Handan to Liaocheng is that on August 3, the Chang-Handan-Liaoning high-speed railway project promotion meeting was held in Handan, revealing that the Chang-Handan-Liaoning high-speed railway project has been included in the national "14th Five-Year Plan" railway development plan. The main line is planned to set up 11 stations including Liaocheng West (under construction), Guanxian South, Guantao South, Daming North, Wei County, Cheng'an, Handan South, Wu'an South, Shexian South, Licheng South, and Changzhi East (existing). .

Among the "five verticals" of high-speed railways planned and constructed in Shandong, the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway was completed and opened to traffic in June 2011; "Running, but the coastal passage continues to improve and upgrade, among which the new sections include Tianjin-Weihai high-speed railway, Weiyan high-speed railway, Lai-Rong high-speed railway, etc., as well as the planned "2026-2030 years, strive to plan the construction of Qingdao to Rizhao, Rizhao to Beijing-Shanghai High-speed Railway Auxiliary Channel” and so on.

The Xiongshang and Tianjin-Weihai high-speed railways mentioned in this promotion meeting belong to the Beijing-Kowloon Corridor and the Beijing-Shanghai Auxiliary Corridor in the "five verticals". Hebei and the Yangtze River Delta are of great significance to Shandong. The remaining one is the Binlin high-speed railway, that is, Binzhou via Zibo and Laiwu District of Jinan to Linyi, referred to as the Binlin high-speed railway. The high-speed rail line is still in the planning and demonstration stage. Keywords: infrastructure, infrastructure construction, domestic engineering news, planning and investment

According to the "14th Five-Year Plan" Comprehensive Transportation Development Plan of Shandong Province, to create "Shandong on the track", and in accordance with the principles of internal and external links and moderately advanced, accelerate the formation of trunk railways, intercity railways, urban railways, and urban rail transit. The passenger rail transit network of "Four Networks Integration" will improve the freight railway network with connected trunks and branches and extended special lines. By 2025, the province's total railway mileage will reach 9,700 kilometers, and Shandong's future transportation prospects are bright and promising. Editor / Xu Shengpeng
