is an important line in the comprehensive three-dimensional transportation corridor planning of the Yangtze River economic belt, the backbone intercity line in the core area of the Yangtze River Delta, and an important part of the Shanghai Wuhan Chengdu express passenger transport corridor. The South inter city railway along the Yangtze River passes through one of the areas with the most intensive cities, the highest degree of urban-rural integration and the best foundation of economic and social development in our province and the Yangtze River Delta, and it is also the third high-speed railway between Shanghai and Nanjing.

The length of the new main line is 278.53 km. There are 8 stations in the whole line, including Nanjing South Jurong Jintan Wujin Jiangyin Zhangjiagang Changshu Taicang, and they are connected to Shanghai through Shanghai to Shanghai Railway phase I in Taicang. The total construction period of the project is 4 years.
