en.Wedoany.com Reported - On April 1, the first information disclosure for the environmental impact assessment of the newly planned Nayong to Liupanshui Railway was released, indicating the project will soon enter the stages of preparing and approving the EIA report, with hopes for formal construction to commence within the year. Among them, the Guangzhou-Zhuhai-Macao High-Speed Rail section is designed for a speed of 350 km/h, aiming to achieve a one-hour direct journey from Guangzhou to Macao; the Naliu Railway is positioned as a 100-million-ton coal transportation corridor, with a construction period of five years.
Scenario A: Guangzhou-Zhuhai-Macao High-Speed Rail (Hezhou to Hengqin Section)
This project is located in Zhuhai City and the Hengqin Guangdong-Macao Deep Cooperation Zone. The line starts from Hezhou Station, crosses the Modaomen Waterway, and leads to the newly established Hengqin Station, with a total new line length of 15.6 kilometers. As a north-south national trunk line on the west bank of the Pearl River Estuary, the Guangzhou-Zhuhai-Macao High-Speed Rail adjusted its route in the latest plan, now running directly along the Guangzhou-Zhuhai Railway to Hengqin, enhancing the flexibility of the hub.
Technical Parameters: Hengqin Station is planned as a three-level underground super hub, initially configured with three platforms and six tracks, with provisions for the extension of Macao Light Rail and conditions for "Co-location Arrangement" (one-stop customs clearance).
Strategic Significance: The project pioneers the "Station-City Integration + Hengqin-Macao Integration" model, integrating customs, border inspection, and commercial complexes. Upon completion, Macao residents will be able to achieve "one-stop" transfers between the light rail and high-speed rail, deeply integrating into the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area rail transit network.
Scenario B: Nayong to Liupanshui Railway
The Naliu Railway is approximately 47.2 kilometers long, with a design speed of 160 km/h, and is invested in and constructed by the Shanghai-Kunming Railway Passenger Dedicated Line Guizhou Co., Ltd. The line starts at Nayong West Station and ends at Lanba Station in Shuicheng District, Liupanshui City. It is an important component of the national "Medium and Long-term Railway Network Plan."
Industrial Value: This line will connect the "dead-end" section from Guiyang to Zhijin to Nayong, linking with the already constructed Zhijin to Nayong section (60 km, 120 km/h).
Functional Positioning: Upon completion, the project will undertake the outbound transportation tasks for the two 100-million-ton coal fields in Zhijin and Nayong, forming a dual railway corridor from Guiyang to Liupanshui. This will effectively alleviate the freight pressure on the Shanghai-Kunming Railway and strengthen the reliability of Guizhou Province's energy supply chain.
The advancement of the two lines demonstrates the trend of refining and supplementing regional transportation networks. The Guangzhou-Zhuhai-Macao High-Speed Rail strengthens cross-border factor flows through "high-standard connectivity," while the Naliu Railway supports the pillar energy industry through "hard connectivity." Together, they constitute the rail transit foundation supporting the high-quality development of the regional economy.
