The total length of the line will 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: at the Expo 2010 site and in 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 will probably start end of 2006 and is scheduled to be completed in time for the 2010 Shanghai Expo. The total budget of the project will be 30 billion RMB yuan (about 4 billion USD).
The line will become the first inter-city Maglev rail line in commercial service in the world. The line is an extension of the only other Maglev line in commercial service so far, the Shanghai airport Maglev line.
