Chongqing municipal government has announced that all of its rail projects due to be completed by 2020 have been rescheduled and brought forward to completion by 2015 in an effort to stimulate domestic demand. This re-scheduling involves 11 major intercity and national rail projects.

In 2010, five new rail projects will start construction, including the Chengdu-Chongqing, Chongqing-Guizhou and Yichang-Wanzhou lines.
