Shanghai-Hangzhou Maglev Train is a proposed maglev train line from Shanghai to Hangzhou, in eastern China.
Introduction
The total length of the line would be 169.725 kilometers — 64.485 kilometers in Shanghai and 105.240 kilometers in Zhejiang province — between the two Chinese cities of Shanghai and Hangzhou. Four stations are to be built, in Shibohui, south Shanghai, Jiaxing and east Hangzhou.
The design speed will be 450 kilometers per hour, and the train will finish the 169.725 kilometers line in about 27 minutes.
Construction is supposed to start in 2005 and is scheduled to be completed in 2009 in time for the 2010 Shanghai Expo.
If built, the line will become the first inter-city Maglev rail line in commercial service in the world. The line would be an extension of the only other Maglev line in commercial service, the Shanghai airport Maglev line.
The total budget of the project will be 30 billion RMB yuan (about 4 billion USD).
