Nanjing–Hangzhou Intercity Railway

Nanjing–Hangzhou Intercity Railway

The Nanjing–Hangzhou Intercity Railway or Ninghang Intercity Railway (simplified Chinese: 宁杭城际铁路; traditional Chinese: 寧杭城際鐵路; pinyin: chéngjì tiělù) is a high-speed rail, passenger-dedicated line under construction in eastern China between Nanjing (shorthand name Ning) and Hangzhou, the capitals of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, respectively.[1] The line will be 249 km in length (including 147 km in Jiangsu and 102 km in Zhejiang) and have 11 stations: Nanjing Station, Jiangning District, Lishui County, Liyang, Yixing in Jiangsu and Changxing County, Huzhou South, Deqing County, Yuhang District and Hangzhou East in Zhejiang.[1] The line will be the first direct railway between Nanjing and Hangzhou and will reduce travel time by rail from nearly two hours to 50 minutes as direct trains will no longer need to travel through Shanghai.[1] Construction began in 2008 and the line is scheduled to open in 2012.[2]
