A　box　girder　with　a　total　weight　of　790　tons　was　positioned　between　piers　584　and　585　of　Lianyungang　Bridge　on　the　Lianyungang-Xuzhou　High-speed　Railway　after　three　hours　of　hard　work　on　the　morning　of　the　28th.　This　marks　the　beginning　of　the　opening　of　the　box　girder　of　the　Lianyungang　section　of　Xuzhou　high-speed　rail.
Yesterday,　the　frame　beam　project　of　the　Lianyungang-Xuzhou　High-Speed　Railway　Station　Front　I　was　officially　started,　which　marks　the　construction　of　Lian-Xu　high-speed　railway　into　a　new　node.　By　Wang　Jianmin,　Cha　Puyao　/　Lianyungang　Daily
On　the　morning　of　the　same　day,　the　author　saw　on　the　spot　that　a　piece　of　box　girder　weighing　790　tons　was　slowly　transported　from　the　platform　to　the　girder　lifting　area　by　900　tons　of　tire　girder　lifting　machine.　Shortly　afterwards,　the　construction　personnel　used　two　450　tons　gantry　cranes　to　lift　the　box　girder　to　the　girder　carrier　on　the　pier,　and　then　the　girder　carrier　feeds　the　girder　to　the　bridge　erecting　machine　and　the　girder　body　is　erected　between　the　two　piers　by　the　bridge　erecting　machine.　Through　the　joint　efforts　of　more　than　100　staff　on　the　spot　for　three　hours,　the　box　girder　was　finally　erected　successfully.
The　Station　Front　I　project　manager　of　China　Tiesiju　Civil　Engineering　Group　said　that　the　successful　erection　of　the　box　girder　marks　the　official　transition　of　Lianyungang　section　of　Lianyungang-Xuzhou　High-speed　Railway　into　the　box　girder　erection　stage.　The　work　done　in　this　section　of　beam　erection　stage　amounts　to　726　box　girder　holes　and　108　T　beam　holes.　It　will　be　completed　in　November　2019,　and　then　will　be　moved　on　to　the　ballastless　track　construction　stage.
Lianyungang-Xuzhou　high-speed　railway　is　a　part　of　the　horizontal　“land　bridge　passage”of　the　“eight　vertical　and　eight　horizontal　high-speed　railway　network”in　our　country’s　“Medium　and　Long-term　Railway　Network　Planning”.　It　is　the　first　railway　project　in　Jiangsu　Province　during　the　“13th　Five-Year　Plan”and　the　first　high-speed　railway　with　a　speed　of　350　km/h　mainly　invested　by　Jiangsu　Province.
Located　in　the　north　of　Jiangsu　Province,　the　Lianyungang-Xuzhou　high-speed　railway　extends　east　to　west　from　Lianyungang　Railway　Station　to　Xuzhou　East　Railway　Station.　It　passes　through　Donghai　County　of　Lianyungang,　Xinyi　City　and　Pizhou　City　of　Xuzhou.　The　main　line　is　about　180　km　long　and　the　designed　speed　is　350　km/h.　The　whole　line　consists　of　six　stations:　Lianyungang　Station,　Donghai　County　Station,　Xinyi　South　Station,　Pizhou　East　Station,　Houmazhuang　Station　(joint　station)　and　Xuzhou　East　Station.
The　Lianyungang-Xuzhou　high-speed　railway　connects　the　two　main　high-speed　railway　lines　of　Beijing-Shanghai　high-speed　railway　and　coastal　high-speed　railway　in　eastern　China.　It　also　connects　Qingdao-Lianyungang　Railway,　Lianyungang-Yancheng　Railway,　Lianyungang-Zhenjiang　Railway　and　Xuzhou-Yancheng　Railway　under　construction,　running　westward　through　Zhengzhou-Xuzhou　high-speed　railway.　The　Lianyungang-Xuzhou　high-speed　railway　is　a　key　section　of　the　T-shaped　high-speed　railway　network　intersecting　the　coastal　high-speed　rail　corridor　and　the　new　Eurasian　Continental　Bridge　high-speed　rail　corridor.　It　is　expected　to　be　completed　by　2020.
