High-speed railway opens to traffic in W China while protecting nature
Share
Copied
A 238-kilometer section of the Sichuan-Qinghai Railway in western China has become operational after 12 years of construction. The railway crosses the rugged, earthquake-prone plateau region in southwest China's Sichuan Province, detouring to avoid disturbing nature reserves. The railway's strategic stopover stations, interspersed across varied ecological environments, showcase distinctive design features.
The Zhenjiangguan Railway Station's 30-meter-high bridge exemplifies the innovative design that minimizes the railway's environmental impact. The construction of the Sichuan-Qinghai Railway adhered to a prudent approach, prioritizing minimal excavation and ecological preservation. The project used slag from tunnels as filling material to curb the disruption of the surrounding ecosystem.
