On April 16, 2026, the Wenyu section of the Hangzhou Taizhou high-speed railway officially started static acceptance, and the main project was basically completed. The main line of this section is 37 kilometers long, with a designed speed of 350 kilometers per hour and a bridge tunnel ratio of 90.34%. The Lijiashan Tunnel is a controlled project for the entire line. After acceptance, it will be transferred to joint debugging and testing, and is expected to be opened within the year. At that time, it will end the history of Yuhuan not being connected to railways and help Zhejiang build a 1-hour high-speed railway transportation circle. Editor/Cheng Liting
