China completed the cutting of a medium- and low-speed maglev tunnel using a shield tunneling machine in Changsha, capital of central China's Hunan Province, on Saturday. This maglev tunnel is the first of its kind worldwide to apply shield tunneling, according to its developer China Railway Construction Corporation (CRCC). The shield tunneling method helps to ensure that ground subsidence is limited to 0.2 millimeters, the company said.

The 2.85-km tunnel, 27 meters below the earth, is part of the east extension of the Changsha Maglev Express.

[...]

In the past seven years, the line has run 373,139 trains and served about 20 million passenger trips, according to CRCC.
