On July 5, 2021, the Jinan Municipal Party Committee and Government will hold a press conference to release and interpret the "Opinions on Accelerating the Construction of Jinan's New and Old Kinetic Energy Conversion Starting Area". The relevant person in charge of the Jinan Urban and Rural Transportation Bureau stated at the meeting that Jinan is making every effort to build the main backbone of the "one ring and eleven" high-speed railway network. By 2025, the city's high-speed railway operating mileage will increase by 315 kilometers, and the total will double. To reach nearly 600 kilometers, three projects including the Ji-Zheng High-speed Railway, Ji-Lai High-speed Railway, and Huangtai Connection Line will be completed, and the formation of a large channel in the Yellow River Basin will be accelerated, and the organizational capacity of Jinan Hub will be improved.

In the starting area, Jinan will start the construction of the Jibin High-speed Railway. The southern end of the project is connected to the Beijing-Shanghai Expressway, Shiji Railway Station, Zhengji High-speed Railway, and Ji-Lai High-speed Railway through the Jinan Hub. The relationship between Tianjin, Hebei and the Yangtze River Delta region. Among them, the Jinan section of the Jibin high-speed railway is 90.53 kilometers long, and three new stations including Yaoqiang Airport, Jiyang and Shanghe will be built to open up the connection between the starting area and the Yaoqiang Airport, the urban area and the Beijing-Shanghai Second Channel, and comprehensively improve the start. District regional transportation infrastructure. The relevant person in charge of the Jinan Urban and Rural Transportation Bureau revealed that, “Currently, it is jointly submitting the application for feasibility study approval by the National Development and Reform Commission with the Tianjin-Weifang section of the Beijing-Shanghai Second Corridor. It is expected that the feasibility study approval will be completed within this year, and the preliminary design synchronization has been completed."

At the beginning of March 2021, Shandong officials announced that they will strive for 6 projects of Xiongshang High-speed Railway, Beijing-Shanghai High-speed Railway auxiliary passage Tianjin to Weifang section, Weifang-Xinyi section, Jibin High-speed Railway, German-shanghai High-speed Railway, Qingdao-Beijing-Shanghai High-speed Railway auxiliary passage Construction started within the year, and the "14th Five-Year Plan" was opened to traffic. Earlier, due to the tightening of approvals for high-speed rail construction, the Jibin high-speed rail project, an important transportation support for the construction of the Jinan provincial capital metropolitan area, was rumored to be suspended. On March 15, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Transport, the National Railway Administration, and the China National Railway Group Co., Ltd. jointly issued the "Opinions on Further Doing a Good Job in Railway Planning and Construction", which proposed that the parallel construction of existing high-speed rails will be strictly controlled. It is strictly forbidden to construct subways and light rails in disguised form in the name of newly-built intercity railways and urban (suburban) railways. At the same time, the construction threshold for 350km/h high-speed rail projects is clarified. On April 20, China News Weekly reported that some projects included in the implementation plan have been suspended due to the "Opinions on Further Doing a Good Job in Railway Planning and Construction", such as the Guanzhong Plain Urban Agglomeration and Jinan Metropolitan Area. The intercity railway project has been suspended. For railway projects that are urgently launched in some areas, the possibility of slowing down construction is not ruled out. On April 26, a reporter from the "Qilu Evening News" learned from the Jinan Urban and Rural Transportation Bureau that the three high-speed railways of Jizao High-speed Railway, German-Business High-speed Railway, and Jibin High-speed Railway, which are of concern to citizens, are currently being actively promoted. The official start date of the project will be postponed in the future. In a few months, the lines and stations of the high-speed rail will also be fine-tuned, but the main body of the project is basically unaffected.
