Construction on major investment projects is in full swing across the province. Let’s take a close look.
The Shanghai-Suzhou-Huzhou high speech railway is undergoing environmental assessment before its construction gets underway. The railway, designed with a maximum speed of 350 km per hour, starts from Shanghai Hongqiao Railway in the east and ends at Huzhou city in the west. Six stations will be built along the rail track. The railway will cut the commute time from Shanghai to Huzhou to 20 minutes.

The 1176m cable-stayed railway-highway bridge will have a steel arch main span of 388m, setting a new world record.
