Nanchang–Shenzhen High-Speed Railway

Construction work began on December 20, 2014, between Nanchang and Ji'an.^[2] The 880-kilometre (550 mi) railway is expected to take five years to complete, in two sections, the 422 kilometres (262 mi) Nanchang–Ganzhou High-Speed Railway from Nanchang to Ganzhou and the Ganzhou–Shenzhen High-Speed Railway 458 kilometres (285 mi) from Shenzhen to Ganzhou. The design speed for the northern section will be 350 km/h (217 mph) between Nanchang and Ganzhou and 250 km/h (155 mph) from there south to Shenzhen.

Once completed it is expected to reduce travel times for Nanchang to Ganzhou from five hours to two hours. From Nanchang to Shenzhen, the trip will take a little under four hours, currently eight hours, forty-three minutes.

It will also be connected, at the southern end of the line, with the Xiamen–Shenzhen Railway to allow access to coastal Fujian cities.
