The project component includes: the project will construct a double-track, electrified, passenger-dedicated high-speed rail line capable of a maximum speed of 250 km/h of about 360 km between the cities of Jilin and Hunchun in Jilin province including the upgrading of a double line track between Jilin station and South terminal of Longtanshan station. Eight new railway stations will be constructed. The project consists of civil works; acquisition and installation of goods, maintenance equipment, and rolling stock; as well as land acquisition and the resettlement of displaced persons. This line is an extension of the high speed Intercity Changchun-Jilin railway currently under construction. The construction period is estimated to be just over four years with construction planned to begin in late 2011 and completion by December 2015. As of early March 2011 (appraisal), resettlement and construction had not yet begun, however, preparation of bidding documents for Bank-financed procurement, preparation for land acquisition and resettlement, a small amount of land acquisition, and procurement of civil works had begun. As confirmed by the Bank's task team at appraisal, early project activities, including advance contracting, have been undertaken in accordance with the project documents and relevant Bank policies and procedures.
