The Shanghai South Railway Station, which is still under construction in south city's Xuhui District, is expected to begin operations at the end of June, about six months ahead of schedule.
The construction company's head office announced the adjusted plan yesterday. The early completion date is a bid to  alleviate the heavy traffic in the downtown Xujiahui area with the new railway hub.
The new plan came after the municipal government announced a month ago to solve the city's traffic woes.
With the new railway terminal, key roads in the neighboring areas will be connected with a round-about to enable quick traffic dispersal.
Meanwhile, the reconstruction of the South Railway station for Rail Transport Line 3 will be completed in June, one month ahead of the schedule, its constructor said.
At that time, people will easily be able to transfer at the station between the Rail Transport Lines 1 and 3, and the railway service.
