How long is the main line connecting Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces in the planning and construction of a high-speed railway?

As we all know, the economic development of the Yangtze River Delta in China is excellent. Whenever the Yangtze River Delta region is mentioned, people will think of Zhejiang and Jiangsu provinces. The comprehensive strength of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces is also excellent in many provinces in China. The reason why the economy of Jiangsu and Zhejiang can develop so well is related to its superior geographical location and perfect transportation network. Zhejiang and Jiangsu are also famous tourist provinces in China, which are rich in tourism resources and have developed well in recent years.

No matter the development of tourism or any other industry, it needs a perfect transportation network to support it. In order to better promote development and help each other, Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces also attach great importance to traffic construction between the two provinces. Among many means of transportation, high-speed rail is a very popular tool. Riding is fast and comfortable, so it is popular. Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces have never slackened off in the construction of high-speed rail. Today, I will introduce a high-speed rail between Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

This high-speed rail line is the Tongsu Jiayong high-speed rail. It is a high-speed railway connecting Nantong, Zhangjiagang, Changshu and Suzhou in Jiangsu Province with Jiaxing and Ningbo in Zhejiang Province. It is a part of the coastal passage of China, passing through the Shanghai-Suzhou Yangtze River Railway Bridge and the Hangzhou Bay Cross-sea Railway Bridge. At present, the preliminary work has made key progress, laying the foundation for project approval and preliminary design research. It is planned to start construction on the whole line of 202 1.

The starting point of Su Tong Yongjia High-speed Railway is located in Nantong West Station, Nantong City. It runs through the Tongyan railway trunk line, crosses the Yangtze River, passes through Suzhou and Jiaxing, then crosses Hangzhou Bay and enters Ningbo. The total length of the main line is 309.9 kilometers, and the newly-built length is 300.9 kilometers, of which the length of Zhejiang section is about 166 kilometers, mainly in Jiaxing urban area, with a design speed of 350 kilometers per hour.

There are 10 stations in Su Tong Yongjia High-speed Railway, namely Nantong West Station, Zhangjiagang Station, Changshu West Station, Suzhou North Station, Hufen Station, Jiaxing North Station, Jiaxing South Station, Haiyan West Station, Cixi Station and Zhuangqiao Station. The key project of this high-speed rail line is the Hangzhou Bay Cross-sea Railway Bridge, which is difficult to construct. When completed, it will become another landmark project of Hangzhou Bay Greater Bay Area.

The construction of Tong-Su-Jia-Yong high-speed railway will strengthen the links between the Yangtze River Delta, improve the regional transportation system, promote regional economic growth and bring development to the Yangtze River Delta. Do you have any expectations for the high-speed railway construction from Su Tong to Yongjia?
