Design and Construction

This project was built as a double tracked electrified railway built to national level I standards. It has a route length of 188.366 km (117 mi) and a design speed of 250 km/h (155 mph) (but limited to 200 km/h (124 mph) operationally). It has a planned passenger transport capacity of 69 train pairs per day, equating to about 15 million passengers per year. A new service depot has also been constructed in Jinhua as part of this project to handle train maintenance.[2][3] It has been built with a total investment of 17.97 billion yuan, as a joint venture between the now defunct Ministry of Railways and the Zhejiang provincial government. The construction period lasted four years, ending on October 15, 2015 when testing was commenced [1] It is expected to be put into use by December 2015.[4][5][6][7][8]
