The Wuhan–Yichang high-speed railway (also referred to in Chinese as the Hanyi high-speed railway) is a high-speed railway line between Hankou and Yichang North currently under construction in China. It will form part of the Shanghai–Chongqing–Chengdu high-speed railway. The line is 314 kilometres (195 miles) long and has a design speed of 350 kilometres per hour (220 mph). On 25 September 2021, the Wuhan–Yichang high-speed railway started construction and it is expected to be completed in 2025.
This line will parallel the existing Wuhan–Yichang railway, which forms part of the Shanghai–Wuhan–Chengdu passenger-dedicated line and was opened in 2012.
