Jinan–Qingdao high-speed railway

The Jinan–Qingdao high-speed railway or Jiqing high-speed railway is a high-speed railway between Qingdao and Jinan, the two main cities of Shandong province. Currently, Qingdao and Jinan is served by a quadruple track railway corridor consisting of the high-speed Qingdao–Jinan Passenger Railway and the conventional Qingdao–Jinan Railway. This new railway is a part of the Qingdao–Yinchuan passageway, one of the 8+8 national high-speed rail gridline, and provides further relief to rail transport between Qingdao and Jinan.[1] Planning was approved by the NDRC on June 10, 2014 with construction starting a year later.[2][3] Tracklaying started in 2017 and the whole line was opened on 26 December 2018.[4][5] The railway shortens travel times between Qingdao and Jinan to 1 hour.[6] This is in contrast to the 2.5 hours needed on the Qingdao–Jinan Passenger Railway and 4 hours on the original conventional Qingdao–Jinan Railway.
