    This project was built as a double tracked electrified railway built to national level I standards. It has a route length of 188.366 km (117 mi) and a design speed of 250 km/h (155 mph) (but limited to 200 km/h (124 mph) operationally). It has a planned passenger transport capacity of 69 train pairs per day, equating to about 15 million passengers per year. A new service depot has also been constructed in Jinhua as part of this project to handle train maintenance. It has been built with a total investment of 17.97 billion yuan, as a joint venture between the now defunct Ministry of Railways and the Zhejiang provincial government. The construction period lasted four years, ending on October 15, 2015, when testing was commenced. It is expected to be put into use by December 2015.
