History
The environmental impact assessment was announced for the first time on 5 September 2018.[4] On 18 April 2019, the feasibility study report of the Yichang-Zhengwan high-speed railway connection line was jointly approved by China Railway and the Government of Hubei Province.[5] On 28 December, the project officially started construction in Beidouping, Xingshan County, in the Three Gorges Reservoir Area.[6]
On 13 August 2021, the pouring of the first beam along the entire line began.[7] On 7 December 2022, the highest pier of China's highest high-speed railway bridge, the 124 m (407 ft) high pier No. 13 of the Gaolan River bridge, was successfully capped.[8]
