According to “Framework Agreement for Cooperative Promotion of Second Channel of Nanjing-Hangzhou Railway” proposed at the High-level Forum on Integrated Development of Yangtze River Delta held on August 17, the second high-speed rail between Hangzhou and Nanjing will be built soon.

Having an estimated investment of 25.9 billion yuan, the high-speed rail will start from Hangzhouxi Railway Station and link Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui with designed speed of 350 km per hour. The completion of the high-speed rail is of great significance to accelerate the construction of “Yangtze River Delta on Rail”, build the high-quality rapid rail transport network in the Yangtze River Delta and promote the strategy for the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta.
