For two consecutive years, the "Changjiuchi" high-speed railway, which was called for construction at the national "two sessions", has made new progress.
Recently, some netizens sent a message to Xie Lai, secretary of the Jiujiang Municipal Party Committee, on the "Leadership Message Board" of the People's Network to inquire about the progress of Changjiuchi and Changyuechang (9), whether it can be included in the 14th Five-Year Plan, and whether the Changjiu Guest Special can officially start construction at the end of this year.
In response to the above consultation, the Jiujiang Municipal Development and Reform Commission recently replied that it is understood that the "Changjiuchi" high-speed rail project has been listed as a research project of the "14th Five-Year Plan" of the State Railway Group in April this year. Changyuechang (9) Railway is expected to complete the preliminary work during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period. The preliminary design of ChangjiuKe has been reviewed and awaiting approval, and we strive to start construction of the whole line by the end of the year.
The "Changjiuchi" high-speed railway is the high-speed railway from Changsha City, Hunan Province, via Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province to Chizhou City, Anhui Province, from Changsha West Railway Station, passing through Liuyang City and Pingjiang County in Hunan Province, Tonggu County in Yichun City, Jiangxi Province, Xiushui County, Wuning County, Jiujiang City, Hukou County and Pengze County in Jiujiang City, to Dongzhi County and Zhongchi City in Anhui Province, with a total length of 562.9 kilometers and a total population of 9.48 million people along the route.
The surging news (www.thepaper.cn) reporter noted that at the national "two sessions" in 2020 and 2021, the deputies of the National People's Congress of Anhui and Gansu provinces called for two consecutive years to build the "Changjiuchi" high-speed railway as soon as possible.
The Surging News previously reported that at the 2020 national "two sessions", Lin Binyang, then secretary of the Jiujiang Municipal Party Committee, Xie Laifa, mayor, Li Hongliang, secretary of the general party branch of Yongtang Village, Xinhe Town, Chaisang District, Jiujiang, and other three NPC deputies from Jiujiang City submitted a joint proposal calling for the construction of a new "Changjiuchi" high-speed railway.
"The new Changsha-Jiujiang-Chizhou high-speed railway can completely change the history of several mountainous counties in Jiangxi and Hunan provinces without railways, and is of great strategic significance for promoting local economic and social development and even the development of the entire Yangtze River Economic Belt. On May 23, 2020, Lin Binyang, a deputy to the National People's Congress and then secretary of the Jiujiang Municipal Party Committee, said this when attending the deliberations of the Jiangxi delegation to the Third Session of the 13th National People's Congress.
"At present, among the existing high-speed rail corridors along the Yangtze River Economic Belt, there is a Shanghai-Hanrong Passage on the north bank, and although there is also a Shanghai-Kunming Corridor on the south bank, it is far away from the river, and the distance from the Shanghai-Hanrong Corridor is 300-500 kilometers, and it is necessary to plan and build an east-west channel on the south bank." The above-mentioned joint proposal believes that after the completion of the "Changjiuchi" high-speed railway, it will help improve the layout of the Yangtze River Economic Belt and even the national high-speed rail network.
"The 'Changjiuchi' high-speed railway is the most convenient high-speed rail channel along the Yangtze River in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, such as the northeast of Hunan Province, the northern part of Jiangxi Province and the southern part of Anhui Province, which can strengthen the short board of high-speed rail in the urban agglomeration of the southern wing of the Yangtze River Economic Belt and further improve the high-speed railway network structure of the Yangtze River Economic Belt." At the same time, the 'Changjiuchi' high-speed railway can also connect the Shanghai-Kunming high-speed railway, the Beijing-Guangzhou high-speed railway, the Hejiu high-speed railway, the Ning'an high-speed railway, etc. through the Changsha hub, the Jiujiang hub and the Chizhou area, and then connect the Yunnan-Guizhou region, Guangxi Beibu Bay, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and the Yangtze River Delta, which will become an important auxiliary channel to further optimize the national eight vertical and eight horizontal high-speed rail network. Lin Binyang and three other NPC deputies wrote in the joint proposal.
In order to realize the common aspirations of residents along the "Changjiuchi" high-speed railway at an early date. At the 2021 National "Two Sessions", the deputies to the National People's Congress in Jiujiang and Chizhou once again submitted a proposal to the Congress calling for the construction of the Changjiuchi high-speed railway as soon as possible.
"After the proposal was submitted last year, I received a telephone response from the National Development and Reform Commission. It is informed that there is currently a high-speed railway from Chizhou to Anqing, and the Anqing-Kowloon (Jiangsu) high-speed railway (mainly north of the Yangtze River) is also about to open. Therefore, there is no clear construction time plan for the 'Changjiuchi' high-speed railway on the south bank of the Yangtze River. In March this year, Wang Jianwei, a deputy to the National People's Congress and secretary of the party committee and director of the village committee of Xiaokeng Village, Meicun Town, Guichi District, Chizhou City, Anhui Province, told The Paper.
At that time, Wang Jianwei told reporters in an interview that this year he jointly signed 14 representatives of the Anhui delegation and submitted the proposal to the conference again. "In order to promote the implementation of the project, Chizhou City has docked with relevant parties in Jiujiang City for many times. It is hoped that the relevant departments of the state can consider the urgent desire for the development of the areas along the route and include the 'Changjiuchi' high-speed rail project in the national railway '14th Five-Year Plan' construction plan. ”
The surging news's previous report also said that coincidentally, Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province, which is connected by this railway, is also very active in striving for the landing of the project. At the 2021 national "two sessions", Lin Binyang, secretary of the Jiujiang Municipal Party Committee, Xie Laifa, mayor, Li Hongliang, member of the party committee and minister of armed forces of Xinhe Town, Chaisang District, Jiujiang City, and other three NPC deputies once again jointly proposed that the "Changjiuchi" high-speed railway be built as soon as possible.
The surging news reporter also noted that on the eve of the national "two sessions" in 2021, in response to the inclusion of the Chijiu high-speed railway in the "14th Five-Year Plan", the Jiujiang Municipal Party Committee Office replied to netizens on February 9, 2021, saying that it was understood that the Chijiu Railway belonged to a section of the Chang (Sha) Jiu (Jiang) Chi (Zhou) high-speed railway. At present, the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government are making every effort to promote the preliminary work of the "Changjiuchi" high-speed rail project. In July and December 2020, the municipal government twice submitted instructions to the provincial government, requesting the provincial government to support the inclusion of the "Changjiuchi" high-speed rail project in the National New Era Medium and Long-term Railway Network Planning and the 14th Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development of the People's Republic of China. At present, the Provincial Development and Reform Commission is coordinating and communicating with relevant ministries and commissions of the state on this work.
At that time, the Jiujiang Municipal Party Committee Office also stressed in its reply that the construction of the "Changjiuchi" high-speed railway is of great significance, not only beneficial to the development of Pengze County, but also very necessary for the development of Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province and even the entire Xianggan-Anhui Border Area, and the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government will maintain follow-up.
