Tunnel breakthroughs made on 2 key rail lines
Print Edition
The Jiamin Line, a vital north-south arterial rail route in Shanghai’s regional network, has achieved a major milestone with the twin-tunnel breakthrough in the Xinjian Road–Yindu Road section, according to Shentong Metro Group. This progress lays a solid foundation for subsequent track laying and equipment installation.
Spanning 44.04 kilometers, the line runs through Jiading and Minhang districts, with 15 stations and a maximum operational speed of 160 km/h. As a key north-south trunk line in Shanghai’s regional network, it will link Jiading New City, the Hongqiao transportation hub and Minhang, serving as a major corridor connecting key new urban centers and transportation hubs. It forms an important component of the “Yangtze River Delta on the Tracks” initiative. Upon completion, the line will interconnect with the Airport Line, alleviating congestion at Hongqiao Hub and acting as a new engine for economic growth in western Shanghai.
Meanwhile, Shanghai Suburban Subway Demonstration Zone Line achieved a breakthrough in its 2,470-meter tunnel section between Fangle Road and Xule Road N. The line stretches 52.4 kilometers through Minhang and Qingpu districts, with 10 stations and a maximum speed of 160 km/h. Upon completion, it will establish a rapid transit backbone connecting Shanghai’s main urban area with Zhejiang and Jiangsu provinces.
