Railwars Minister Liu Zhijun, said during the deliberation of the Tibet delegation at the Third Plenary Session of the Tenth National People's Congress that after four years' construction the groundwork of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway has been completed at the end of last year.

The railway is totally 1,142 kilometers in length and is the world's longest on-plateau railway with the highest altitude and the most mileage through frozen ground. It runs 960 kilometers at an altitude above 4,000 meters. The railway's highest point is at the Tanggula Pass, which is 5,072 meters in altitude. The geological conditions along the line is complex. Perennial frozen grounds alone cover more than 550 kilometers.

Environmental protection investment alone reach 2-odd billion yuan, accounting for about 8 percent of the total investment. It is the railway construction into which the Chinese government has put the largest investment for environment protection.

Since the start of construction the project has put a hundred million yuan or so into study of frozen ground. The Chinese scientists adopt measures such as bridge substitution, slabstone ventilation roadbed, ventiduct roadbed, gravel and slabstone slope protection etc., which reinforce the protection of the plateau frozen grounds and the natural environment along the line.
