Although the straight-line distance between Jinan and Zhengzhou is only 370 kilometers, the only bullet train between the two places needs to run for more than 5 hours, while the ordinary train needs to run for 8 to 1 1 hour. It needs to pass through Kaifeng, Shangqiu, Xuzhou, Zaozhuang, Tai 'an and other places.
Because there is no direct traffic, cars and trains traveling between the two cities have to take a detour and take a long time. Therefore, both provinces have the intention to build a direct high-speed rail.
Fortunately, after many efforts, this matter has finally come to a conclusion! According to Shandong Business Daily, on April 30th, Shandong and Henan provinces reconfirmed the direction of Zhengzhou-Jinan special railway line, and made it clear that the Zhengzhou-Jinan high-speed rail project line was led out from Zhengzhou and passed through Xinxiang, Puyang and Liaocheng in Shandong to Jinan.
Data map: Ji Zheng high-speed rail line
It is reported that the total investment of the project is about 55 billion yuan, and the design speed is 350 km/h. The Liaocheng-Zhengzhou section is under the responsibility of Henan Province, and the first draft of the pre-feasibility study report has been compiled by China Railway Fourth Survey and Design Institute. The reporter learned from the Key Office of Henan Provincial Government yesterday that the National Development and Reform Commission and China Railway Corporation have agreed to include the project in the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan", and construction is expected to start during the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan".
According to the deployment of the government work report, around the construction of the "meter" high-speed railway network, our province will start a set this year.
"Combination boxing": basically complete the main project of Zheng, start the Henan section of the high-speed railway on the whole line, start the construction of the Henan section of Zhenghe high-speed railway, and accelerate the preliminary work of the high-speed railway.
After the Zhengzhou-Wanzhou (Chongqing), Hefu, Taiyuan and Jinan railways are completed, a three-hour railway passenger circle leading to Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, Wuhan and Xi 'an will be formed. In other words, it takes about two hours to take the high-speed train from Zhengzhou to Xuzhou, Hefei, Jinan, Taiyuan and other surrounding cities.
Puyang people look forward to the early opening of Zhengzhou-Jinan Railway.
You have no idea how anxious this mood is. "We look forward to it year after year, month after month and day after day, that is, we look forward to the early completion of the Zhengzhou-Jinan railway." Li, deputy to the Provincial People's Congress and chairman of Puyang Federation of Industry and Commerce, said that for mainlanders, talking about the railway may not feel anything, but for Puyang people, it is not only closely related to everyone's travel, but also related to the economic and social development of Puyang city as a whole.
Traveling is difficult.
"People often say that if you want to be rich, build roads first. Over the years, a big problem facing Puyang is the lack of roads. " Li said that in the past, there was only one expressway in Puyang, namely Hepu Expressway, which went east to Fanxian County and was not connected with Shandong Province. It was not until a few years ago that the Daguang Expressway transited Puyang that the traffic conditions improved. Even so, the most difficult thing for Puyang people is that there is no railway so far.
"We are going to Beijing, Wuhan, Xi 'an and other cities, and we can only take the train to Hebi high-speed railway station. To go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces such as Shanghai, you can only take the train from Puyang to Qufu, Shandong Province, which takes three hours by car. That's real pain! Therefore, there are Puyang people who ridicule: Puyang is a marginalized city. " Li said that the expectations of Puyang people for the railway are difficult for outsiders to understand.
It is difficult to attract investment.
The lack of trains also directly affects the investment of guests, which in turn affects the local economic and social development.
As the chairman of the Federation of Industry and Commerce, Li has a lot to do with entrepreneurs. "One year, some foreign businessmen were invited to visit Puyang. Everyone is very satisfied with Puyang's investment promotion policy, urban environment and service concept, but because there is no direct railway, some merchants are unwilling to take root. "
"If you go to Puyang, you can ask the locals: What is your greatest expectation? Nine times out of ten, they will tell you: build the Ji Zheng high-speed rail as soon as possible! " Li said that nearly 4 million Puyang people are looking forward to the speed increase of the high-speed rail, which can be described as "every year, every month, every day".
make preparations
"After the completion of the high-speed railway from Zhengzhou to Jinan, one end of Puyang is Zhengzhou, and the other end is Jinan, connecting two provincial capitals at once. At the same time, it has also ended the history that several generations of Puyang have no access to passenger trains, which will surely bring Puyang's economic and social development into a new stage. " Li said that the people of Puyang are ready, and governments at all levels and relevant departments are making relevant preparations and investigations, waiting for the day when the railway will be completed as soon as possible.
