History

In October 2020, geological surveys began in preparation for the construction of a bridge across Hangzhou Bay which will carry the railway.[2]

Route

The line takes new north–south route which bypasses Shanghai, instead heading via Suzhou, Jiaxing, and Cixi. The total length of the line is 310 kilometres (190 mi), of which 301 kilometres (187 mi) will be newly built. The line crosses the Yangtze River via two tracks of the four-track Hutong Yangtze River Bridge. The other two tracks carry the Nantong–Shanghai railway.
