The track laying of the Shanghai-Nanjing High-speed Railway along the Yangtze River has been completed, and the opening and operation are moving towards reality.

According to news on May 20, today, the last set of 500-meter-long rails of the Shanghai-Nanjing High-speed Railway along the Yangtze River was successfully laid, which means that the entire track is laid and connected, laying a solid foundation for the Shanghai-Nanjing High-speed Railway along the Yangtze River to be opened and operated within this year.

Departing from Nanjing South Railway Station, the Shanghai-Nanjing High-speed Railway along the Yangtze River passes through Nanjing, Zhenjiang, Changzhou, Wuxi and Suzhou in Jiangsu Province, and finally arrives at Taicang Station. There are 8 stations on the entire line, including existing stations Nanjing South, Zhangjiagang, Changshu and Taicang stations, as well as newly built stations Jurong, Jintan, Wujin and Jiangyin stations.

ITBEAR technology information revealed that the total length of the Shanghai-Nanjing High-speed Railway along the Yangtze River is approximately 279 kilometers, and the design speed can reach 350 kilometers per hour. This high-speed rail line is one of the backbone lines of the intercity rail transit network in the Yangtze River Delta region. Together with the Beijing-Shanghai High-speed Railway and the Shanghai-Nanjing Intercity Railway, it forms a high-speed rail network radiating westward.

The Shanghai-Nanjing High-speed Railway along the Yangtze River is expected to be ready for operation at the end of August this year, and is scheduled to officially start operation at the end of September. Jintan, Wujin, Jiangyin and other cities will end their history of not having high-speed railways after the opening of the project. This move is of great significance for shortening the time and space distance between counties and cities in southern Jiangsu and Shanghai and Nanjing, improving the regional rapid railway network, and promoting the economic and social development of the southern Jiangsu coastal areas.
