The Qingdao–Jinan high-speed railway or Jiqing high-speed railway is an under construction high-speed railway between Qingdao and Jinan, the two main cities of Shandong province. Currently, Qingdao and Jinan is served by a quadruple track railway corridor consisting of the high-speed Qingdao–Jinan Passenger Railway and the conventional Qingdao–Jinan Railway. This new railway will be part of the Qingdao–Yinchuan passageway, one of the 8+8 national high-speed rail gridline, and provide further relief to rail transport between Qingdao and Jinan.[1] Planning was approved by the NDRC in June 10, 2014 with construction starting a year later.[2][3] Tracklaying started in 2017, with the whole line slated for opening by the end of 2018.[4] The railway is expected to shorten travel times between Qingdao and Jinan to 1 hour.[5] This is in contrast to the 2.5 hours needed on the Qingdao–Jinan Passenger Railway and 4 hours on the original conventional Qingdao–Jinan Railway.
