It is reported that the Lanzhou-Zhangye high-speed railway is an important component of the national "Eight Vertical and Eight Horizontal" high-speed railway network's land bridge corridor and the Silk Road Economic Belt rapid passenger transport corridor, forming a second high-speed rail channel for the Lanzhou-Xinjiang corridor. The Zhongchuan Airport to Wuwei section has already been operational since the end of June 2024.
The newly built main line for the Wuwei to Zhangye section is 244.045 kilometers long, with bridges and tunnels totaling 121.013 kilometers, accounting for 49.59%. A 12.6-kilometer connecting line between the Lanzhou-Xinjiang Railway and the Lanzhou-Zhangye Third and Fourth Railway Line will be built in the Wuwei area. The design speed is 250 km/h, and the total preliminary design investment estimate is 26.74 billion yuan.
The entire line will have 6 stations, including 4 newly built stations: Zhuwangpu Station (overtaking), Jinchang South Station, Jiling West Station (overtaking), and Shandan North Station. Two existing stations will be connected: Wuwei East Station and Zhangye West Station.
The project officially commenced construction in December 2024 with a planned construction period of 3 years and is scheduled to be completed and open for traffic by the end of 2027. The construction of this project plays a significant role in further advancing the "Belt and Road" initiative and forming a large-capacity passenger transport corridor from Northwest China to Central and Eastern China. At the same time, it will effectively release the freight capacity of the existing Lanzhou-Xinjiang Railway, better serving the outbound transport of Xinjiang coal and safeguarding national energy security.
