2019 report on the policy of investment in high-speed rail 200km / h

Based on the roadmap for the development of a high-speed railway on the north-south axis, the Prime Minister instructed the Ministry of Transportation to review previous studies on the North-South High Speed Rail Project. - Nam to update and complete the pre-feasibility study report of the project.

It is expected that the Ministry of Transport will submit to the Government to consider and report to the National Assembly through investment policy in 2019.

Answering the question of National Assembly deputy Le Cong Nhuong, the delegation of the National Assembly of Binh Dinh province related content: When the Ministry of Transport proposed to the Government and the National Assembly to build railway North South at a speed of about 200 km / h to solve the traffic problem in our country.

Accordingly, it is planned to develop the high-speed railway on the North-South axis with the following stages:

By 2020, to study the plan for the construction of a new high-speed rail line, a 1,435 mm double track and electrification on the North-South axis, which shall prepare the necessary conditions for step by step prior construction.

Prior to the construction of high-demand routes on the north-south axis, it is necessary to build up the capacity of mobilizing capital.

Vision to 2050, strive to complete the 1,435mm high-speed double rail line on the North-South axis; After 2050, the organization will deploy the speed of 350 km / h.

Based on the above roadmap, the Prime Minister instructed the Ministry of Transport to review previous studies on high-speed railway project on the north-south axis to update and finalize the research report. Pre-feasibility Project. It is expected that the Ministry of Transport will submit to the Government to consider and report to the National Assembly through investment policy in 2019.

For the advantages of high-speed rail on the North-South axis provided by the National Assembly deputies, the Prime Minister instructed the Ministry of Transport to study and absorb in the process of finalizing the Report on the study of money feasible project.
