CONSTRUCTION of the high-speed railway between Beijing and Shanghai, currently awaiting approval from the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), will start this year, a Chinese lawmaker said in Beijing yesterday.
'The NDRC is reviewing the feasibility report of the project. ... It will get approved sooner or later this year,'Lang Guoping, deputy head of the preparation team with the Beijing-Shanghai passenger line company, said on the sidelines of the fifth session of the 10th National People's Congress (NPC). Once completed, trains on the express railway will reach speeds exceeding 350 kilometers per hour, shortening the nine-hour trip to five hours.
