Lanzhou to Chongqing Railway
key project of OBOR freight corridor
open in Sep. 2017

With a total length of 820 km, of which 435 km is located within Gansu Province, in addition to the construction of a branch to Nanchong and Guang'an that is 95 km long. It was built as a new double line electrified railway, with freight train capable of up to 160 km/h, passenger trains traveling at 200 km/h. The capacity of the line is expected at 50 train pairs per day and 50,000,000 tonnes of freight per year.

Lanzhou-Chongqing railway project was estimated to need a total investment of 77.4 billion yuan, of which the Gansu Provincial Government invested about 43 billion yuan, with the rest of the funding was coming from a Ministry of Railways, Sichuan and Chongqing joint construction effort. The construction period was expected to take 6 years. By the completion of the railway rail transport from Lanzhou and Chongqing is shortened from 1466 kilometers to 820 kilometers, conventional train running time is reduced to 7 hours from 17.5 hours. Fast trains will complete the route in 5.5 hours.

Recent high speed rail reforms has also meant direct Chengdu-Lanzhou and Chongqing-Xi'an services will use a combination of Xi'an–Chengdu High-Speed Railway and Chongqing–Lanzhou High-Speed Railway from where they meet at Guangyuan, Sichuan. This will reduce the neeed for a separate direct Chongqing-Xi'an or Chengdu-Lanzhou line.[3]

Because of hilly terrain between Guangyuan and Lanzhou on 832 km of railway there are 285 bridges totaling 104 km (13% of the route) and 178 tunnels totaling 506 km (63% of the route). Twelve of the tunnels will exceed 10 km in length, while the longest tunnel, West Qinling Tunnel, measures 29 km.[4]

China’s first railway bridge using gluing technology completed

Updated 2017-12-03 21:59 GMT+8

China’s first railway bridge using gluing technology was completed on Saturday in Zhoukou, central China's Henan Province, marking a breakthrough in China's railroad construction technology.

The railway bridge is part of the high-speed line linking Zhengzhou in central China and Fuyang, east China. The bridge sections were assembled on site and stuck together with a special kind of epoxy glue, a resin that acts as an extremely strong adhesive through chemical reaction.

"Compared with the traditional construction technology of continuous beam, this technology is compact, causes less pollution and consumes less energy. It represents the future development direction of railway bridge construction in China,” said Li Aiguo, head of the Zhengzhou-Fuyang high-speed rail project.

The 277-kilometer rail has a design speed of 350 kilometers per hour and is expected to be finished in 2019.
