An inspection of the Chongqing-Guiyang High Speed Railway (HSR) is currently underway, reported Guizhou Daily on July 27.

Extending a total length of 345 km, the Chongqing-Guiyang HSR will service a total of 12 stations along the line and will be capable of speeds of 350 km per hour.

Guizhou has sent more than 500 workers for the inspection and adjustment of equipment along the railway to ensure that the whole construction will be completed at the end of the year.

After the completion, the railway will connect to Lanzhou-Chongqing HSR and Guiyang–Guangzhou HSR, forming part of a larger railway network and becoming another important access route to the sea.

The railway is expected to improve the flow of passengers and freight through the railway transport corridor and relieving increasing pressures on existing conventional railway lines in the region.
