On December 15, 2019, construction of the second phase of the Nantong–Shanghai railway from Taicang to Situan began, passing through Shanghai Pudong New Area to establish Shanghai East railway station. Shanghai East railway station will be the second largest railway station in Shanghai after Shanghai Hongqiao railway station.[1]
The first stage of the project the Airport Link line of Shanghai Metropolitan Area Intercity Railway was opened in December 2024, connecting Shanghai East railway station with Pudong Airport, Hongqiao railway station and Hongqiao Airport.[3] The travel time between both airports has been cut from 90 minutes to less than 40 minutes.
