Significance of Changji Intercity Railway

Changchun-Jilin intercity railway is located in the central part of the province, and the GDP of Changchun and Jilin accounts for about 65% of the province. After the completion of the project, the distance between Changchun and Jilin will be shortened in space, and then Changchun and Jilin will be "integrated". It also provides convenient conditions for social and economic exchanges and industrial cooperation, and has important strategic significance for strengthening the radiation-driven role and industrial diffusion of Changchun and Jilin, guiding and accelerating the development of urban agglomerations in central provinces, and enhancing the economic competitiveness of the province in the country.

The drive from Changchun to Jilin used to be nearly 2 hours, but now it is shortened to about 37 minutes. According to the passenger flow of Changji intercity railway, the speed of EMU may exceed 200 kilometers per hour. Changji intercity railway is a two-lane passenger dedicated line, and there is no time difference between the wrong train and the waiting bus. The original Changji railway has many detours, while the Changji intercity railway runs almost in a straight line, and the turning radius of the general section needs 5500 meters, which can be appropriately reduced in difficult sections, which is the main reason for saving time.

In the near future, the opening of Changji intercity high-speed railway will connect the two cities more closely. The implementation of this series of major measures indicates that the dual core of the economic cluster in central Jilin Province has been formed, and Jilin Province has also taken a substantial step in establishing its own economic center.

The construction of Changji intercity railway can connect major large and medium-sized cities in Northeast China, form a rapid railway passenger transport network, and promote the economic development of our province through Beijing-Tianjin, Qinhuangdao-Shenyang and Tianjin-Qinhuangdao passenger dedicated lines.

Therefore, the construction of Changji Intercity Railway has built a comprehensive transportation system with clear division of labor and reasonable functions between Changchun and Jilin, which can make the intercity transportation between Changchun and Jilin tend to public transportation, improve the service level of corridor transportation, and meet the traffic needs of different levels between cities and between cities and traffic strongholds. It is helpful to speed up the integration process of Changji.
