(Xinhua)
Updated: 2008-04-18 14:16 The Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway with a designed speed of 350 kilometers per hour started construction on Friday.
Attending a ceremony, Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao announced the formal start of the construction. With an investment of 220.9 billion yuan ($31.6 billion), the railway was the most expensive construction project China had started since 1949. Trains would run at speeds of 350 km per hour. Last Friday, the country's first domestically produced train, able to reach 350 kilometers per hour, rolled off the production line. According to the ministry, all the technological equipments for the self-designed line was produced by domestic companies. About 50 percent of the investment was from the State-owned Beijing-Shanghai High-Speed Railway Co Ltd. The rest would be raised through share offerings, bank loans and foreign investment, said a source with the ministry, without elaborating on specific proportions.
