The objective of the Zhengzhou Urban Rail Project for China is to improve urban mobility for the population of Zhengzhou along the catchment area of Line 3 from Xin Liu Lu Station to Hang Hai Dong Lu Station. The project consists of the following four components: (1) Construction of Line 3. This component includes all construction activities for the Zhengzhou Urban Rail Line 3 (about 25.2 km) which starts at Xin Liu Lu station and ends at Hang Hai Dong Lu station. Line 3 will connect the city center of Zhengzhou with its northwest and southeast development areas. Line 3 includes 21 stations, which will be located underground and connected by tunnels. Six interchange stations to be constructed will provide convenient interchange with other urban rail lines. The Bank loan will support the construction of five stations and five tunnels located at the southeast end of the line. (2) Equipment for Line 3. This component includes equipment necessary to the operation of Line 3, such as rolling stock, power supply, control system, signaling system, communication system, monitoring system, fare collection system, safety and security system, ventilation and air conditioning system, water supply, sewerage and fire protection system, and station auxiliary equipment. This component will be financed entirely by local counterpart financing. (3) Design, Construction Management and Technical Assistance. This component includes: (i) activities for design and preparation of the project; (ii) activities for construction management and quality assurance; and (iii) technical assistance (TA) and capacity building of relevant staff and the Urban Rail Company (URC). The Bank loan will support the TA and capacity building activities. (4) Safeguards and Other Construction Costs. This component will include land acquisition and resettlement costs, construction site preparation (environmental mitigation measures) as well as other project related construction costs, such as engineering insurance, work safety assurance, inspection and acceptance, and project cost estimation. This component will be financed entirely by local counterpart financing.
