Construction has started on an expansion and renovation at Moding station on the
Laos section of the China-Laos railway, the first large-scale capacity upgrade
there since the line opened in December 2021. The project is designed to raise
border-station train dispatch and cross-border freight handling capacity. Work
will proceed in phased, prioritized stages. The Lao-China Railway Company is
coordinating the Luang Prabang maintenance center, Vientiane operations center,
China Railway Eighth Bureau and China Railway Electrification Bureau to ensure
efficient, orderly delivery.
