Jiangsu province will build more than 1,200 kilometers of railways and add air routes to further develop its transportation network and generate new growth points for sectors such as e-commerce, smart manufacturing, tourism and automobiles, senior officials said.

The total length of the eastern province's railway network will grow from the current 2,791 kilometers to over 4,000 kilometers by 2020, according to Lu Yongquan, director of the Jiangsu Transportation Department and a deputy to the National People's Congress, the top legislature.

The province plans to build more regular and high-speed railroads in northern Jiangsu, where the transportation network is weaker than in other parts of the province, Lu said, adding that four high-speed railroads with a total length of 958 kilometers are already under construction.
