In the grand chess game of the construction of the Sichuan-Chongqing Railway, the transportation development of the waterfront area has always attracted much attention. However, there has been extensive discussion and controversy over whether there is a need for an east-west train line and the construction of the Nanguang intercity railway.
First of all, we have to face the fact that the transportation needs in the waterfront areas have not yet reached the point where the construction of east-west train lines is required. At present, the transportation in the waterfront area mainly relies on road transportation, although this meets the travel needs of local residents to a certain extent, but with the development of the economy and the growth of population, the traffic pressure is gradually increasing, and more efficient transportation methods are needed to alleviate this pressure. However, whether to choose to build an east-west train line requires a comprehensive consideration of a variety of factors, including capital, technology, market demand, etc.
At the same time, the construction of the Miansui Railway has also attracted much attention. However, compared with the adjacent water areas, the construction of the Miansui Railway seems to be more urgent and necessary. The construction of the Miansui Railway will further improve the railway network in Sichuan and promote the economic development of the regions along the line. At the same time, the completion of the Miansui Railway will also provide local residents with a more convenient and efficient way to travel and improve their quality of life.
However, some voices have expressed doubts about the construction of the Nanguang intercity railway. They believe that the construction of the Nanguang intercity railway will cost a lot of money and resources, and due to the small population, it may face operational difficulties after construction. In addition, they are worried that the construction of the Nanguang intercity railway will weaken Chongqing's status as a transportation hub and affect Chongqing's development.
However, from another point of view, the construction of the Nanguang intercity railway also has its unique value and significance. First of all, the Nanguang Intercity Railway will connect the two major cities of Chongqing and Guangzhou, and become an important corridor connecting the southwest region and the Pearl River Delta region. This will greatly shorten the time and space distance between the two places and promote economic exchanges and co-operation between the two places. Secondly, the construction of the Nanguang intercity railway will also bring new development opportunities to the areas along the line. Through the series connection of railways, the regions along the line can be more closely linked together, forming a closer economic circle and urban agglomeration.
In addition, the planning of the high-speed rail link from Fuling to Wulong also provides us with new thinking. The construction of this connecting line will further improve the railway network in Chongqing and improve the convenience and efficiency of transportation. At the same time, it also provides more possibilities and opportunities for the construction of the Nanguang intercity railway. If the Nanguang intercity railway can be connected to the high-speed railway link from Fuling to Wulong, it will form a high-speed corridor connecting the southwest region and the Pearl River Delta region, providing more convenient conditions for economic exchanges and cooperation between the two places.
Finally, we need to recognize that the construction of railways is not only to meet the current transportation needs, but also to promote the long-term development and prosperity of the regional economy. Therefore, in the process of railway construction, we need to comprehensively consider a variety of factors, including capital, technology, market demand, etc., to ensure that railway construction can truly promote the coordinated development and prosperity of the regional economy. At the same time, we also need to actively explore new modes and means of transportation to inject new impetus and vitality into the development of the regional economy.
