近几年来,随着宜万铁路、渝利铁路和沪渝高速公路的相继开通,湖北省恩施土家族苗族自治州实现了“通高速、通铁路”的百年梦想。东西方向的铁路大通道已然打通,然而南北纵向通道的阻隔,仍然是制约恩施经济社会发展的一个瓶颈。安张铁路的建成,将填补恩施州乃至整个武陵山区纵向铁路的空白,彻底打破交通设施的制约,为与全国同步实现小康奠定坚实的基础。 In recent years, along with the opening of the Yiwan Railway, the Yuli Railway and the Hu-Yu Expressway, Enshi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture of Hubei Province has realized the one-hundred-year dream of “high-speed and railway access”. The east-west railroad thoroughfare is already open, however, the blockage of the north-south longitudinal channel is still a bottleneck restricting the economic and social development in Enshi. The completion of the Anzhang Railway will fill in the blank of the longitudinal railway in Enshi Prefecture and even the entire Wuling Mountain Area, thoroughly breaking the restriction of transportation facilities and laying a solid foundation for achieving the well-to-do life with the whole country simultaneously.
