Lanzhou–Zhongchuan Airport intercity railway
As Zhongchuan Airport is quite distant from the urban area of Lanzhou, regular ground transport currently takes about an hour to make the journey and taxi journeys are expensive at around 150 to 200RMB, but with little to no time advantage over the airport bus service.From Fuliqu to Zhongchuan Airport 48.2 kilometres (30.0 mi) of new railway is built as a double tracked electrified line.Lanzhou New Area railway station will allow transfers to future tram and metro services.Before Lanzhou New Area station, the under construction Zhongwei–Lanzhou high-speed railway branches off.On December 21, 2012, another groundbreaking ceremony was held again with full construction now underway.
