The blueprint for the newly-relocated Changfeng Station, located on the Hefei-Bengbu high-speed railway, was drafted on July 1. The relocation will cut transportation time from Changfeng county to the capital city of Hefei from a current average of forty minutes to an hour, down to a brief fifteen minutes after the railway is completed in two years.
Hefei-Bengbu Railway, an express passenger corridor from Heifei to Beijing, is an important part of Beijing-Fuzhou Railway, linking Shanghai-Wuhan-Chengdu Railway and Beijing-Shanghai Express Railway. It passes Bengbu, Fengyang, Huainan, Changfeng and Hefei, stopping at Shuijiahu Station, North Hefei Station and Hefei Station. Hefei-Bengbu passenger dedicated lines are projected to be completed in 2012 with a planned speed of 300 km to 350 km per hour.
The Shuijiahu, Changfeng Station will be located 300m north of the old station, where the county's timber company previously lay. The new station occupies an area of 4,000 sq m, leaving plenty of room for possible future connections with Shangqiu-Hangzhou passenger dedicated lines.
Changfeng county is planning to build a residential community on the south of Changxin Road and east of South Changhuai Road for the resettlement caused by the relocation of the station. The bidding has finished and the construction is about to set out. A high-standard square will be built in front of the station, which will be located in the triangle area south of North Changhuai Road, north of Xiatang Road and east of North Wushan Road.
