en.Wedoany.com Reported - Recently, the renovation and expansion construction of Boten Station on the Laos section of the China-Laos Railway officially commenced. This marks the first large-scale capacity enhancement project on the Laos section since the railway began operations in December 2021, which will effectively improve the station's capacity for train reception, departure, and cross-border freight distribution.

According to the Laos-China Railway Company Limited, Boten Station, located near the Laos-China border, is a key hub for cross-border train entry and exit. As cross-border economic and trade activities continue to heat up, the demand for passenger and freight transport is growing, and the capacity of the original station facilities is approaching saturation. After the renovation and expansion, the freight customs clearance capacity of Boten Station will increase by more than 10%.

The renovation project adopts a phased and prioritized construction plan. The Laos-China Railway Company has coordinated multiple units, including the Luang Prabang Maintenance Center, Vientiane Operations Center, China Railway No.8 Engineering Group, and China Railway Construction Electrification Bureau Group, to work collaboratively and ensure the efficient and orderly progress of the project.

The project adopts a construction approach of phased construction and gradual commissioning, balancing construction progress with line traffic. Xinhua News Agency reporters observed at the construction site on the evening of the 2nd that, to minimize the impact of construction on existing line operations, intensive work was scheduled during the nighttime window period.

After the renovation is completed, the efficiency of train marshaling, reception, and departure at Boten Station will be significantly improved, further unleashing the cross-border transport potential of the China-Laos Railway. This will support the normalization of cross-border trade and international freight train operations, strengthen the construction of the China-Laos connectivity logistics corridor, and continuously boost economic and trade exchanges between China and ASEAN.
