New progress has been made in the construction of many railways in the province, laying a solid foundation for accelerating the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta and building a new strong and beautiful Jiangsu.
The beams of the railway connecting Lianyungang, Huai’an, Yangzhou and Zhenjiang were laid over the rail tracks to pave the way for the joining of the railway.
When the railway is put into operation, the people in the six counties along the railway will be able to make high-speed train rides.
The laying of the box girders on the bridge piers on Monday signaled the start of the beam frame construction on the Yancheng-Nantong railway.
The railway is an important part of the country’s eight horizontal and eight vertical network in the coast areas.
The 156-km railway will slash the travel time from Yancheng to Nantong within 40 minutes and to Shanghai within one hour.
