Chongqing–Wanzhou high-speed railway is the second route between Chongqing and Wanzhou after Chongqing–Wanzhou intercity railway. The Chongqing–Wanzhou high-speed railway, on a faster 350 kilometres per hour (220 mph) alignment, is expected to open in 2025. It will take a different route, heading south to serve Zhongxian and Fengdu with new railway stations and interchanging with the existing Fuling North railway station and terminating at Chongqing East.
On 2 July 2018, initial plans for the railway, with seven stations, were unveiled.[1] Geological surveys began in 2020. The plans have been revised and the line will now have five stations. It is expected to be completed by 2025.[2]
