Bogdkhan Railway Bypass Line project progress presented www.montsame.mn
On April 27, members of a working group in charge of the ‘Bogdkhan Railway Bypass Line’ project delivered a presentation on the implementation progress, general plan, and preliminary design budget and plan of the project.
The Bogdkhan railway bypass line project will develop the railway bypass, starting from the main railway of the Ulaanbaatar Railways JSC and branching off from Mandal station to connect to the Maanit station by bypassing the Bogdkhan Mountain to the south.
The project is expected to allow railway transit freight and export/import freight transportation to bypass Bogdkhan Mountain to its south side instead of running through the middle of Ulaanbaatar city. The current railway line will be used for passenger travels and public transportation of cities and districts.
The Bogdkhan railway bypass line project will build a railroad line around the steepest areas in the mountain, the Emeelt and Khoolt mountain passes, enabling freight trains to travel with increased speed and enhancing the freight transportation volume by 5-6 million tons per year. The project also aims to tackle engineering challenges that arise between the Emeelt and Khangai stations with a view to reduce the costs of railway operations. What’s more, the burden on the freight railway and auto road systems of Ulaanbaatar city will be lowered.
The government’s action plan for 2016-2020 and the economic recovery plan approved by the State Great Khural in 2016 both set out to build the Bogdkhan railway bypass line.
After hearing the presentation, Prime Minister L.Oyun-Erdene noted that it is important to launch a study on developing a detailed blueprint for the railway bypass line in the first place and ordered the working group members, including the Finance Minister and Road and Transport Development Minister, to present options to resolve funding issues for the study for the cabinet discussion.
