Description

edit

The line leads from Hongqiao Airport Terminal 2, heads south along the east side of the Shanghai-Hangzhou Passenger Dedicated Line, crosses the Shanghai-Hangzhou Railway Passage, and then turns to the east and travels along Chunshentang, 1.6 kilometers (0.99 mi) south of S20, after crossing the Huangpu River. Walk on the south side of S20 and S1, pass through Pudong International Airport, and then follow the north side of S32 into Shanghai East railway station. The line is 68.6 kilometers (42.6 mi) long,[3][2] of which, the elevated section is 4.313 kilometers (2.680 mi), the at-grade section is 2.578 kilometers (1.602 mi), and the underground section is 60.448 kilometers (37.561 mi). The project is divided into east and west construction. The west section is located in Minhang District, starting from Hongqiao Hub in the west and ending at the east end well of Huajing station in the east. It has a total investment of 9.549 billion yuan.

It will use a large tunnel boring machine for construction, developed by Shanghai Tunnel Engineering Co. The shield, named Qiyue, or "swift horse", weighs around 3,200 tons and is 99 meters (325 ft) long. It has 14-meter (46 ft) diameter blades, whereas normal blades used to dig the city's metro lines are 6.9 meters (23 ft). It can dig and push 60 millimeters per minute (12 ft/h) underground.[4]

Operation

edit

A rail transit style operation is adopted, with the platform design, train schedule, and other aspects being similar to metro lines. Citizens can use public transportation cards to enter and exit the station.[5] Pudong International Airport and Resort station and the termini have a reserved length for 16-car CRH6F trains while other stations will accommodate 8-car Class C (Express train) stocks.
