The Second Chengdu–Chongqing high-speed railway (Chinese: 成渝中线高铁; lit. 'Chengdu–Chongqing Central line high-speed railway') is a 292-kilometre (181 mi)^[1] long high-speed rail line that connects the cities of Chengdu (in Sichuan Province) and Chongqing in southwestern China, with a maximum speed of 350 km/h (220 mph). It will head via Lezhi, Anyue, and Dazu. Construction started on September 26, 2021 ^[2] and it is expected to open in 2027.

The 292 kilometres (181 mi) long Second Chengdu–Chongqing high-speed railway will take a more direct route than the existing 307 kilometres (191 mi) long high-speed Chengdu–Chongqing intercity railway and is expected to reduce journey times between the two cities to 50 minutes.^[2]

History

Approval for the 69.273 billion yuan project was granted on August 17, 2021 by the National Development and Reform Commission.^[1]

Construction started on September 26, 2021.^[2]

The fastest journeys on this line take just over two hours. The Chengdu–Chongqing intercity railway was completed in 2015.
