China News Network, Hangzhou, June 11 (Reporter Zhang Yuhuan, Intern Wang Meng, Correspondent Shang Shuqun) A few days ago, in the birthplace of the concept of "green water and green mountains is the golden mountain and silver mountain"-Huzhou, Zhejiang, a major project for the integration of the Yangtze River Delta The opening ceremony of the Lake Railway was held. The mobilization meeting for the construction of the Shanghai-Jiangsu section of the Shanghai-Suhu Lake Railway opened the prelude to the construction of the Hu-Hu-Hu Railway in the form of video connection and simultaneous start of the three places.
The Husu Lake Railway, located in the core hinterland of the Yangtze River Delta, starts at Hongqiao Station in Shanghai, passes through Suzhou City in Jiangsu Province, and ends at Huzhou Station in Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province. The length of the main line is about 163.8 kilometers. This "swimming dragon", which travels between the city and the water countryside, has brought a new imagination of life to the people in the Yangtze River Delta region.

Project: "Five Years' Sword"
Since ancient times, the Husu Lake area has the convenience of the Zhoujiang water town, which has greatly promoted regional economic development. However, nowadays, water transportation is gradually declining, and the transportation methods such as railways and highways are developing rapidly, and the transportation advantage of the Suhu area on the rich side is no longer. How to rebuild traffic advantages and recreate yesterday's glory? This has become a wonderful yearning for the people of Suhu.
In fact, as early as 2008, the National "Middle- and Long-Term Railway Network Planning (Adjusted in 2008)" included the Husu-Shanghai (now Husu Lake) railway in the plan, but it was very difficult to advance in the early stage.
As a full-time participant and follower of this project, Lu Yongchun, director of the Huzhou Railway Office, felt that the start of the construction was not easy. "It has been five years and eight months since the start of the Shanghai-Suhu Railway in September 2014. It's time."
He introduced that on the one hand, the people along the route are expecting the construction of the Shanghai-Suhu Railway to be very high. There are a lot of proposals for the transfer of the Shanghai-Suhu Railway during the two sessions of the country every year. Disagreements such as the implementation standard of environmental impact assessment and the layout of station functions have caused difficulties in the early stage of the project, making it impossible for the project to be listed as a national project for four consecutive years (2016-2019).
In order to promote the construction of the Shanghai-Suhu Railway at an early date, the two provinces of Shanghai, Zhejiang, and Jiangsu along the line and the National Railway Group have closely cooperated, and the main leaders have communicated and coordinated many times. Since the outbreak, communication and coordination have been strengthened through video connections.
"Since the start of the project, the headquarters has repeatedly reported to the'one city and two provinces', and coordinated and resolved the key issues such as land acquisition and demolition, foreign power construction, and municipal support for the Shanghai-Suhu Railway in a timely manner, creating favorable conditions for accelerating the project." China Ying Huigang, general manager of Railway Shanghai Railway Bureau Group Corporation, said.
As the construction unit of the Shanghai-Suhu Railway Project, the Shanghai Railway Hub Project Construction Headquarters has also completed the project's water and soil conservation plan, environmental assessment report for general navigation administrative approval, construction land and comprehensive land development by strengthening road-ground coordination, establishing communication mechanisms, and speeding up the processing of key elements. The signing of the agreement has accelerated the "birth" speed of the Shanghai-Suhu Railway.
Route selection: maximum protection of cultural relics and ecology
The construction of the Shanghai-Suhu Railway has finally fulfilled a long-awaited beautiful dream in the core area of the Yangtze River Delta. However, unlike other high-speed rails, the Hu-Su Lake Railway spans many nature reserves and cultural heritage sites, which makes high-speed rail planners wonder where to go.
When talking about the design of the Shanghai-Suhu railway line selection, Chen Guoquan, an engineer of China Railway Fourth Survey and Design Institute, was deeply moved. "The area through which this railway traverses is densely packed with numerous monuments. There are more than 100 national, provincial and municipal key cultural relic protection units in Nanxun Ancient Town, such as Xiaolianzhuang, Jiayetang, which has caused difficulties in the selection of high-speed rail lines. ."
How to draw an economical and convenient high-speed rail, and to avoid these beautiful scenic spots and cultural remains to the greatest extent, has become the joint responsibility of high-speed rail designers, local governments and construction units.
"For the scenic spots that cannot be circumvented, the Hu-Su Lake Railway adopts the way of underpassing tunnels, and strives to reduce the impact on scenic spots, cultural and natural reserves." Chen Guoquan introduced that in the direction of the route and the station setting, the designer Adhering to the design principles that are not only conducive to attracting passenger flow, but also taking into account the economic strongholds along the line as much as possible, they have fully adapted to the requirements of the urban system planning and the overall urban planning.
Chen Guoquan said that the Hu-Su Lake Railway passing through the Yangtze River Delta Eco-Green Integrated Development Demonstration Zone strives to become a resource-saving and environment-friendly railway with maximum ecological protection measures.
Outlook: "New Engine" for Regional Development
"Ninety-nine trips across Jiangnan, it's better to walk around Nanxun. As one of Shanghai's favorite short-distance travel destinations, our biggest wish is that the high-speed railway special train can be driven into Nanxun as soon as possible." Huzhou Nanxun District Tourism Group is responsible for People say.
"The areas along the Shanghai-Suhu Railway passing by are economically developed, densely populated, with large populations, obvious industrial characteristics, close economic links between cities and towns, and frequent personnel exchanges. The demand for intercity passenger flows at all levels is strong," said Hou Wenyu, secretary of the party committee and chairman of the China Railway Shanghai Bureau Group Corporation.
He said that the Hu-Hu Lake Railway not only improved the comprehensive transportation system of the channel and alleviated the pressure on highway traffic, but also formed a new railway passenger transport channel in the Yangtze River Delta and the central and western regions. It is of great significance for the Jiangcheng Belt to undertake the construction of an industrial transfer demonstration zone and promote the development of regional social and economic integration.
Looking forward to the future, this "Your Dragon" will build a fast high-speed rail corridor in the core area of the Yangtze River Delta and become a "happiness line" that satisfies the people's longing for a better life, a "backbone line" of the intercity rail transit network, and a boosting area. The "golden line" of economic and social development. (Finish)
