Rendering of Nantong-Suzhou-Jiaxing-Ningbo Railway
Rapid rail transit? High-speed railway? Autopilot? Which will come first in the transport package of Ningbo between 2021 and 2025? Among the “Top 10 Biggies” recently announced by “Zhejiang Release” in the transportation sector, Ningbo has occupied a big share.
A message from Zhenhai District reveals the route of a newly schemed urban rail, which is to start from Longshan, Cixi City, stretch southward by way of Jiulonghu Town, Jiulong Avenue, Ningbo North Railway Station (to be constructed), and finally join with Line 2 of the rail transit system at Kongpu Station.
Also mentioned in the reports from the Hangzhou Bay New Zone, this line has been planned to join Nantong-Suzhou-Jiaxing-Ningbo Railway at Cixi HSR Station.
And the construction of Ningbo North Railway Station will also become a new planned project of transportation.

Also, on the list of the top items to be accomplished by the municipal government is the construction of the Shanghai-Ningbo cross-sea passage, which is envisioned to be a rail-cum-road bridge at its cross-sea section. Totaling about 48 kilometers in length, it will be located 20-40 kilometers to the east of Hangzhou Bay Bridge.
Meanwhile, construction work on the Shanghai-Ningbo intercity railway and the Second Highway Bridge across Hangzhou Bay were proposed by Cixi City and will be launched during the “14th Five-Year-Plan” period.

Basking in public attention, the Yinzhou section of provincial highway S203 plays a significant role in connecting the coastal region of Fenghua and part of Xiangshan and Ninghai directly to the south of Yinzhou. Currently, the Fenghua Section of S203 is already under construction.
Responses from Yinzhou transport authorities on the public well-being network site of Ningbo (https://nb8185.cnnb.com.cn) show that the construction land of this project remains to be requisitioned and the commencement date is currently not available.
Besides, Yinzhou is also planning the introduction of autopilot in the future.

Specifically, autopilot and digital traffic systems will be put to service in Hengxi Town to promote smart transportation and increase the overall capacity of small cities. The demonstration effect will help with the landing of relevant industries and the shaping of the industry zone. Coupling autopilot with the development of small-sized smart cities, rural vitalization, recreation and the health industry will further boost local industries and the digital economy.
Yuyao City plans to work on Ningbo-Yuyao urban express railway and Yuyao-Cixi intercity railway (the second phase) and include them in the construction list of the “14th Five-Year-Plan” period.

With a strenuous push into an era of well-connected railways, Xiangshan County is going all out for the passing of Ningbo-Taizhou-Wenzhou High-Speed Railway through its territory and the placement of a high-speed railway station. The building of this line aims to speed up Xianshan’s integration into the metropolitan area of Ningbo and the urban agglomeration on the track of the Yangtze River Delta.
Moreover, Xiangshan is also expecting to start construction work on the second port passage and push forward with pre-phase preparations for the South-Bank Port Highway.

As for Ninghai County, high on its agenda is the need to widen the G15 Shenyang-Haikou Expressway (Ningbo section) to an 8-lane highway, as commonly shared by travelers from Ninghai and Fenghua.
