BananHigh ironIt's been in june of last year, from ba'al to nandu for over an hour. We still have to go around the highway and not get there for half a day. It's a "breath road."KawakawaThe old revolutionary district is a major obstacle to customs clearance. Now, there's a new movement in the middle to middle of the hanbanan railway. What's this heavy iron? When can we start working? What can we do to make a difference to millions of people along the border
Let's start with the basics of this railroad. It's called the hanbanan railway central to ba'al, and it's often called "hamba's high iron" and it's headed from the ba'al middle east station to the han's middle east station, about 164 km long, with sichuan covering 110 km, and sichuan covering 54 km west. PressPlanningIt's a passenger line, double-line design, 250 miles an hour, running a lot faster than the road。
With regard to investment, there are two accounts, approximately $24. 9 billion, and $46. 5 billion, allegedly because of differences in statistical calibre, which may include associated works, and more specifically pending subsequent official adjustments. The route runs through sichuanba-chongnan gang county and shuxi-hang-cheng district, all of which are at the heart of the old zone。
Why is this high iron so concerned? First of all, it's written in the national medium- and long-term railway network planDevelopmentThese national and provincial plans are in line with the direction of the state in advancing the development of the west and supporting the revitalization of the old revolutionary zone, and are not randomly built. In addition to its role in the railway network, the north is connected to the west by the high iron, which is connected directly to the main urban group, while the south is connected to the economic circles of the two cities in the sensu region by means of the banan high iron which is already in transit。
If in the long run we can connect the planned chicken to the high iron in han, we can also form the longitudinal link between the northwest and southwest. The most important thing now is that the banan high iron is open, and the central parts of the khan to baal are not working, and the entire corridor is not working, and this line is the key to the break-up。
As of august 2025, the railway was working well. The general direction of the route has been determined, and there is a consensus in the two provinces that passenger traffic should be secured and cargo space reserved. However, the specific sites in shaanxi are still being refined, such as the han midwest station, which initially wanted to be located in liangshan town, southern zheng district. In order to move the project forward, an inter-provincial coordination mechanism was established in the two provinces, and in march 2024, the main head of the bainimarama municipal council also led a team to the hantai, where the two municipalities worked together to bring the project into national planning。
The next plan is also clear: in 2025, pre-research reports will be optimized, and more reports will be made to the national commission for development and development, the iron group, with a view to launching feasibility studies during the year; the medium-term goal is to formally integrate the project into the national “fifty-five” railway development plan at the beginning of the “fifty-five” period, with a copy of the feasibility study; and the long-term goal is to be able to start work substantively during the “fifty-five” period from 2026 to 2030。
When this heavy iron is built, there are too many benefits. To begin with, the revival of the old zhuang revolution zone, which can directly radiation 52,000 square kilometres, 15 million to 20 million people, must be aware that the old zone infrastructure has been replaced by a line that used to lack high iron. For the industry, air equipment manufacturing in han, graphite in bar, logistics costs are expected to decline by more than 30 per cent in the future, and sales are more cost-effective; the industry can also benefit from an additional $5 billion per year, which is expected to attract more tourists from three cultures in han and red tourism in pakistan。
Changes are more pronounced in regional transport. Now han has been driving for more than three hours, high iron has been running for 35 to 40 minutes; plus banan high iron, which is already in circulation, the bar goes to chengdu for 136 minutes, to chongqing for 166 minutes, and from now on the river flows like the same city. It can also serve as a link between the economic circles of the two cities in the closed economic zone and in the chengzheng region, allowing for better integration of the three urban clusters of xi'an, chengdu and chongqing, diverting pressure from the high iron and railways, releasing the freight capacity of these routes and securing resources such as coal to the south。
For the people, the benefits are real. In the areas along the han, baal and south china routes, where previously rural dwellers generally had disposable income below the national average, high irons have led to industrial development and have made it easier to find more income-generating roads, whether for work or small business. It will also promote new forms of urbanization and rural revitalization, allowing more people to reap the dividends of development。
Of course, there are challenges in moving forward. Planning and approval are not yet in the national five-year plan, and progress depends on approval at the national level; it is a matter of money; investment is so large that more state funding will be required; the project will be difficult, with more than 75 per cent of the route going through the qinba mountains, which is geologically complex, with a bridge ratio of more than 75 per cent, i. E. Most of the sections of the road are either bridges or tunnels, and the risk of rock blasts and flooding while construction is under way; moreover, it will be difficult to balance construction and environmental protection through ecologically sensitive areas, such as the chuan reserve; although there are coordination mechanisms in place in the two provinces, there is a need for continued synergy。
The response strategy, however, has long been considered. At the policy level, the two provincial capitals have continued to report jointly to the national ministries with a view to integrating the project into the “fifty five”; technically, three-dimensional geological modelling and intelligent excavations will be used to deal with engineering challenges; ecologically, route design will be optimized, for example, through the adoption of the concept of “eco-compensatory tunnel” to minimize environmental impacts; and coordination will strengthen the inter-provincial joint conference system to address the major problems of building standards and models。
In fact, this high iron is not just a railway, but a “engine” that activates the development of the old zhuang revolution. If the construction started as planned during the “155” period, it would become an additional high-level inter-provincial rail route to the north and south, perfecting the high-level iron network in the west, giving new impetus to the development of the west, and allowing millions of people along the road to take another step in their quality of life。
High-intensity, industrial booms, headwinds and development concerns. This is the high iron that the old region expects, and every step of the way is moving. What do you think would've affected your hometown most if this high iron had been built? Is it easier to travel, or is it better for home-grown industries?
