The Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) has unveiled the schedule for the construction of high-speed rail at the meeting of the steering committee in charge of priority express railways in Vietnam. Oriented high-speed railway sections are Hanoi – Vinh and Ho Chi Minh City – Nha Trang. Deputy Transport Minister Nguyen Ngoc Dong and Minister’s Senior Assistant Ngo Thinh Duc chaired the meeting. High transportation demand According to JICA studies on high-speed railways on Hanoi – Vinh and Ho Chi Minh City – Nha Trang sections, the capacity and speed of trains on existing railroads are limited because of many bottlenecks. Moreover, degenerated railway infrastructure insufficient crossing safety measures make trains operate less efficiently and face traffic safety risks. Train speed is reduced in many sections like Hoa Duyet – Thanh Luyen, Khe Net Pass and Hai Van Pass. JICA experts forecast the demand for railway transport on the north-south run will surge and exceed the capacity of the current system. By 2030, train frequency will exceed 50 trips a day on both directions. This is also the maximum capacity of the current route. Moreover, with the current track widths, it is hard to raise the train speed to 120… Read full this story
