Starting in 2023, economic recovery will be the top priority. Building a strong country with transportation first. On February 8, 2023, we learned from Hubei Railway Group that in 2023, we will focus on promoting 15 railway projects under construction, planned, and planned, including 13 high-speed railway projects and 2 freight railway projects. The total mileage exceeds 1,800 kilometers, with an investment of over 380 billion yuan, to accelerate the construction of high-speed railways in Hubei and provide strong support for the construction of Hubei as a pioneer area for the construction of a new development pattern across the country.

At the beginning of the new year, the construction site of the key control project of the Xiangjing high-speed railway - Yicheng Hanjiang Super Bridge is in full swing. The bored piles of the main pier of the bridge with a design hole depth of 90 meters are under construction around the clock. During the Spring Festival, 23 key bridge pile foundations have been completed and the output value has been completed. 129 million yuan. The Xiangjing high-speed railway is a key project in Hubei Province to build a demonstration zone for a strong transportation country, and it is expected to be completed in 2026.

It is estimated that by the end of this month, the continuous girder arch main girder of the Jianghan Canal Super Bridge on the Jingjing Railway will be completely closed, and the key projects and control projects along the entire line will also be completed. After the Jingjing Railway is completed and opened to traffic, the goal of "connecting high-speed railways to every city" in Hubei will be realized.

Smooth traffic construction

In 2022, the province's high-speed rail mileage will exceed 2,000 kilometers and reach 2,064 kilometers, and its national ranking will rise from 14th to 8th. Entering 2023, Hubei Railway Group will build a strong foundation for "Hubei on the track", promote the construction of high-speed railways with high standards, high quality and high efficiency, and ensure a "good start" and "good start" in the first quarter.

In addition to five high-speed rail projects with a total investment of over 100 billion, including the Jingjing, Xiangjing, Xishi, Wuhan-Yichang section of the high-speed railway along the Yangtze River, and the connecting line of the Yichang-Zhengwan high-speed railway, in 2023, the Wuhan hub direct line, The Hefei-Wuhan section of the high-speed railway along the Yangtze River and the Yichang-Fuling section of the high-speed railway along the Yangtze River started construction as soon as possible, with a total investment of 183 billion yuan.

Among them, the new line of the Wuhan hub direct line has a total length of about 107 kilometers and a total investment of about 50.2 billion yuan. It is an important part of the Yanjiang and Fuyin high-speed rail corridors. After completion, it will be of great significance to build Wuhan's "super-meter-shaped" high-speed rail hub. The Hubei section of the Hefei-Wuhan section of the high-speed railway along the Yangtze River has a total length of about 163 kilometers and a total investment of about 42.2 billion yuan. The Hubei section of the Yichang-Fuling section of the high-speed railway along the Yangtze River has a total length of about 326 kilometers and a total investment of about 90.6 billion yuan.

In the future, Hubei Province will also speed up the preliminary work of five high-speed rail projects, including the Fuyang-Huanggang section of the Beijing-Kowloon high-speed railway, the Yichang-Changde section of the Hunan high-speed railway, the east extension of the Wuhan hub direct line and the reinforcement project of the Fuyin high-speed railway, and the Hekang high-speed railway Suizhou To Xinyang section, Jingzhou-Yueyang high-speed railway, etc.

With a number of major projects starting construction one after another, the province's high-speed railway construction has formed a good momentum of succession, and strives to reach 3,000 kilometers of high-speed railway mileage by the end of the "14th Five-Year Plan", ranking third in the country.
