China completes rail laying on the Chongqing–Kunming railway: launch expected in the first half of 2027
On the Chongqing–Kunming high-speed railway, the last pair of 500-meter rails has been laid in the Junlian tunnel on the border between Sichuan and Yunnan provinces. The line is scheduled to fully open in the first half of 2027, cutting travel time between Chongqing and Kunming to roughly 2.5 hours.
