In recent days, there have been exciting news about the development of transport in the shandong peninsula:Tung's house is on the lineAndThe new rail expansion can be modifiedThe feasibility study of the project was completed by the national iron groupShandong provinceIn addition, the bid announcement for the approval of the project's construction map was officially issued on 29 september 2025, and construction work on the project is scheduled to commence on 30 december and is expected to be completed by 30 june 2028. This means that a “traffic artery” will be added to south-east lu, following the qingcheng high iron link to qingdao, to add a heavy color to the overall road map of shandong “145”。
According to the latest progress, the project's earlier work has been fully accelerated: a master plan has been finalized — the city of qingdao, the national iron group and the qingdao port group have co-financed the construction of a new railway between laoteng and hualian; the expansion of the qin-liang-me section of the railway will allow for a three-way distribution between the national iron group, the pilgrim and the sun-ray; the tender for the approval of the construction plans has been launched, which means that the design drawings will be solidified and the tenders for the construction will be followed up; and the preparation of the geological supplement along the route, environmental assessment, and landlines have been synchronized. It can be said that everything is ready for work only at the end of the year。
In terms of the planning programme, the project consists of three units, with an estimated total investment of $17. 5 billion. Of these, the “one owner” is the line of 196. 3 km: a new line of 62. 8 km from the dong family entrance to the hualian railway station, and a new two-line west-west route to the green salt railway village line, starting from the dong's south station, will be constructed to the green salt railway village line; and a second line will be added to the yeojin railway station of 133. 5 km from the cheol xin railway station to the may port station and will be closed down to five small stations to improve overall pass capacity. The “three” are three lines of contact: 8. 5 km of the line of contact in the five lotus trench, which provides access to the direction of the guangzhou; 17. 8 km of the line of contact between the nautilus and the waji railway, which provides access to the main national coal transport route; and 13. 2 km of the line of contact between the pyramid and the pyramid railway, which has been updated to allow multiple directions of connectivity. There are 10 stations along the line, covering more than 6 million people along the line, directly serving the qingxiang port district and the two main logistics hubs in qingxi port and qingyi。
The project's planned construction, for qingdao, will leave the “last kilometre” collection bottlenecks, and the rapid diversion of iron ore, bauxite, containers through railways is expected to significantly increase cargo throughput capacity and provide “hard core” support for the construction of an international shipping centre in north-east asia. For the mills, the sun and the pelicans, the project transformed the gel new railway from a single-line to a double-line, increasing the speed of passenger cars from 80 to 120 kilometres per hour, significantly increasing the year of freight through capacity, truly unleashing the structural dividend of “public-to-iron” and significantly reducing the cost of social logistics. More critically, a 120-km “fast-track corridor” will be formed between the runan economic circle and the guangdong economic circle to create a two-way “transport artery” between the core of the new and old kinetic energy conversion in shandong and the yellow river basin ecological reserves。
At that time, trains originating from the area of dong's family port can travel to the north-west and to the south-west, via the main line, the guangxi-sung-suk-waj railway, and to the north-west, through the qingdao line, which can reach the long triangle for three hours. In sum, one line activates a network, which will result in a stronger network of “twirling five-way railways” in shandong, which emerges along the “wide road” pattern between the hoang dynasty and the north and south。
