the key project of the Central China high-speed railway network is about to start--Seetao

On December 10, 2025, the construction bidding for the new Wuhan Hub Direct Line project officially began, marking that this major high-speed railway project with a total investment of approximately 33.74 billion yuan is about to enter the substantive construction stage. The core control engineering of the project - the main bridge section and the joint construction section of the Baishazhou Highway and Railway Yangtze River Bridge - will be tendered in advance. The estimated total contract price is about 4.7 billion yuan, and the construction is planned to start in December 2025. As a key component of the national "Eight Verticals and Eight Horizontals" high-speed railway network along the Yangtze River, the main line of this line is approximately 83.6 kilometers long, with design speeds of 350 kilometers per hour and 250 kilometers per hour respectively, and a construction period of 5 years. The project will build a new Hanyang Station, which will have 7 units and 12 tracks in the near future, with a station building area of 80000 square meters. The long-term plan is to have 13 units and 24 tracks. After completion, it will become the largest high-speed rail hub in Wuhan. After the completion of the project, it will effectively connect the Wuhan West high-speed railway, significantly reducing the running time from Xi'an to Jiujiang and other directions, and is expected to save about 20 minutes. At the same time, this project will significantly alleviate the transportation pressure at Hankou Station, enhance the connectivity and scheduling flexibility of Wuhan hub, and is of great significance for improving the high-speed railway network in Central China and promoting the construction of the comprehensive transportation system in the Yangtze River Economic Belt.
