Autonomous Region caught up with the original schedule and the line between Hohhot and Ulanqab (W est section, 123 km) was opened for commercial service after testing and commissioning, on August 3, 2017 (against the origina l target date of June 30, 2017). Six train pairs operate daily in this section. Construction of the section in Hebei province between Ulanqab and Zhangjiakou (158 km) has progressed well and is expected to be completed by June 2018, a one-year delay compared to the original plan. Currently, approximately 90% of land along the alignment has been acquired, including all the land needed for construction. The HuZhang company is likely to finalize the remaining land acquisition, which is in the safety zone on either side of the tracks, once testing and commissioning are imminent (i.e., second half of calendar 2019). The project was restructured to extend the project closing date until June 30, 2020. This extension will allow sufficient time for the project to be completed and for the project to be linked to the rest of the high speed rail network through Zhangjiakou station. At that time, the project is expected to fully fulfill its development objective.
