Content summary: The latest official response is here, and the demonstration area line is expected to be completed and opened to traffic in 2028.
Recently, some netizens have asked when the demonstration area line is expected to be completed and opened to traffic?
On the 16th of this month, the Shanghai Municipal Transportation Commission officially replied to the netizen's consultation and mentioned that the demonstration area line is currently expected to be completed and opened to traffic in 2028.
Not long ago, more than 2 months ago, the official had officially proposed that "the demonstration area line will be built at full speed and is expected to be completed in 2026" (see attached map for details).
On March 2 this year, the Information Office of the Municipal Government held a press conference to introduce the achievements of the construction of the Hongqiao International Central Business District on the third anniversary of the approval of the "Overall Plan for the Construction of Hongqiao International Open Hub".
At this press conference, it was mentioned that "the demonstration area line is being built at full speed and is expected to be completed in 2026".
After the press conference, the official WeChat of Shanghai "Shanghai Release" and the official WeChat of Qingpu District "Green Qingpu" both reported a press release that "the demonstration area line is expected to be completed in 2026"!
(As a small episode, when we saw the report, we also expressed "surprise" and caution!) After all, the construction period was reduced by two years. We published the report after consulting with the authorities. ）
We mentioned in the article "Beiqing Highway (Waiqingsong Highway-Huaxu Highway) Reconstruction and Expansion Project Bidding":
According to the official statement, the co-linear section of the Beiqing Highway and the demonstration area line will be constructed at the same time. The construction period of this bidding for Beiqing Highway seems to be a bit "incompatible" with the official announcement that the demonstration area line is expected to be completed in 2026, which is more consistent with the original plan for completion in 2028.
Extended reading:
We have also mentioned many times that according to the current progress of the expropriation work of the second and third phases of the demonstration area, the completion of the project in 2026 is indeed facing serious challenges, and the six-year construction period is indeed too ruthless to be compressed to four years at once.
Theoretically, the construction period of the demonstration area line is subject to the latest official reply, that is, it will be restored to the original completion and opening to traffic in 2028!
According to the approval of the special planning of the demonstration area line, the total length of the demonstration area line is 52.4 kilometers, passing through Minhang District and Qingpu District, with 10 stations (of which 8 stations are located in Qingpu), and the maximum running speed of the train is 160 kilometers.
(The above interpretation is for reference only, please refer to the official announcement.) ）
