The pre-qualification of EPC bidding for Songzi Station reconstruction project has been started, and the project scale, scheme and investment ratio have been determined. This means that the reconstruction and expansion project of Songzi Station, which has been running for several years, will finally be implemented. This once the only passenger train station in Jingzhou is about to usher in a new life.
The renovation of Songzi Station has been planned for many years, and it is determined to start next month.
At first, the main station of Liu Jiao Railway in Songzi was Xizhai Station. Later, because it was far from Songzi city, Songzi moved the railway passenger transport to Zhangjiafan Station, and 1995 was renamed Songzi Station, and a new station building was built. This is the origin of Songzi Station at present.
Songzi Station, as a third-class station, was very busy 20 years ago and was an important transportation hub in the tide of migrant workers in southwest Hubei. Nowadays, in the era of high-speed rail, the prosperity of ordinary railways has faded, and the station is a bit lonely.
The reconstruction and expansion project of Songzi Railway Station has a long history and has been included in the long-term development plan of Hubei Railway, but the reconstruction plan has been changed again and again. Songzi City had planned to build a new railway station in Lingang Industrial Park, but this plan involved the change of Liujiao Line, which cost a lot of money and was finally not adopted.
