CONSTRUCTION on two intercity railways linking Beijing with neighboring Tianjin and Hebei Province will start by the end of this year, the company in charge of the project said yesterday.

Trains on a 160-kilometer line from Beijing to Tangshan City of Hebei will pass through Beijing’s suburban Tongzhou District, Hebei’s Langfang City and Tianjin’s Baodi District, before reaching Tangshan.

Sharing the 80km Beijing-Baodi section with the Beijing-Tangshan line, another 182km line will connect Beijing with Binhai New District in Tianjin.

The construction will be carried out by Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Intercity Railway Investment Co, an enterprise founded last year by state-owned company China Railway and the governments of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei.

The company said the construction of another two rail lines, a 112km line linking Beijing Capital International Airport with a new airport in south Beijing and a 87km line between the Hebei cities of Langfang and Zhuozhou, will start by the end of 2016.

Hao Weiya, company chairman, said the four lines will require a total investment of over 100 billion yuan (US$16.1 billion), 10 billion yuan of which will come from the government budget and the other 90 billion yuan from elsewhere.
