China News Service, Zhanjiang, June 28 (Liang Sheng Chen Kaijie) On the morning of the 28th, the Zhanjiang Bay Subsea Tunnel shield tunneling project of the Guangzhou-Zhanjiang High-speed Railway started smoothly.

  The Guangzhou-Zhanjiang high-speed railway project is an important part of China's "eight vertical and eight horizontal" high-speed railway network. The line starts at Guangzhou Railway Station, passes through Foshan, Zhaoqing, Yunfu, Yangjiang, Maoming, Zhanjiang and other cities, and ends at Zhanjiang North Railway Station. The construction period is 5 years, and the total investment is about 99.8 billion yuan.

The designed driving speed is 350 kilometers per hour.

  It is understood that the Zhanjiang Bay Subsea Tunnel is currently the longest single-headed large-diameter sea-crossing high-speed rail shield tunnel in China. It has the characteristics of large excavation section, poor geological conditions, high construction standards, and multiple key technologies. It can be used for reference at home and abroad. Little experience.

The construction of the Zhanjiang Bay subsea tunnel on the Guangzhou-Zhanjiang Railway highlights China's ability to build super subsea tunnels.

  It is reported that the Guangzhou-Zhanjiang high-speed rail project has played an important leading role in strengthening Guangdong's foreign cooperation in the development of "land-sea internal and external linkage, east-west mutual aid".

It will play an important role in promoting Zhanjiang's construction of a provincial sub-central city, a central city in the Beibu Gulf, and an important growth pole for the modern coastal economic belt, upgrading and optimizing the transportation layout, including high-speed rail passenger transport in the central city, and facilitating public travel. After opening to traffic, it will realize the Guangzhou center The urban area and the central area of ​​Zhanjiang can be reached within 90 minutes. The high-speed integration of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area will enhance the regional economic status of Western Guangdong and promote the overall economic and social development of Zhanjiang.
