Chinanews, Beijing, Apr. 12 (By Zhou Yin) - China plans to make an
additional investment of 5.5 billion yuan in the Qinghai-Tibet railway
line, so as to ensure the complete construction of the railway by Oct.
2005 and trial operation on July 1, 2006.
The 5.5 billion yuan would be used to complete pre-depot work, build
railway tracks and beams, promote post-depot work in a comprehensive way
and improve environmental protection work, stated Liu Zhijun, Minister of
Railways, at today's Qinghai-Tibet railway construction project work
conference.
By the end of 2004, the Qinghai-Tibet railway had basically completed
construction of the main roadbase, bridge and tunnel infrastructure,
completed 29 of the 32 difficult construction projects. Construction on
the remaining three projects has progressed smoothly, namely the Lhasa
River bridge project, the Lhasa railway depot project and the railway
tracks and beams project. The Qinghai-Tibet railway would also use GSM-R

tests of network and terminal equipment. Last year, the Qinghai-Tibet
railway built 396 km of railway tracks. And, investment in the railway
reached 8.8 billion yuan last year.
