China's first cross-sea high-speed railway line will open in Fujian province between June and September next year, and is expected to promote the development of economically dynamic coastal city clusters in southeastern China, the line's chief bridge designer said.

Track-laying on the 277-kilometer line was completed on Tuesday. Linking the provincial capital Fuzhou with Xiamen, a major tourism and port city, the route will reduce travel time between the two cities to less than an hour. The line has a designed speed of up to 350 km/h, and has eight stations including Zhangzhou and Putian.

The Fuzhou-Xiamen High-Speed Railway is expected to promote the economic and social development of Fujian, drive the urbanization of cities, meet rising passenger demand and promote green transportation, said Yan Aiguo, deputy chief engineer of China Railway Siyuan Survey and Design Group Co, and the chief bridge designer of the line.
