Nanning–Pingxiang high-speed railway is a high-speed railway between Nanning and Pingxiang in Guangxi, China. Rather than being a central government initiative, this project is largely being coordinated at a regional level, in Guangxi.[2][3][4]
History
The railway is being built in two sections: Nanning to Chongzuo, and Chongzuo to Pingxiang. Construction on the Nanning to Chongzuo section started on 28 October 2018.[5] Construction on the Chongzuo to Pingxiang section started on 28 September 2020.[6]
Erection of the overhead wires for the Nanning to Chongzuo section began in December 2020.[7]
The Nanning to Chongzuo section was opened on 5 December 2022.[2]
Route
Between Fusui South and Pingxiang East, the line runs roughly parallel to the Hunan–Guangxi railway.
