The Hangzhou Metro ( Chinese 杭州 地铁 , Pinyin Hángzhōu Dìtiě ) is the subway network of the city of Hangzhou and the surrounding suburbs in the Chinese province of Zhejiang . Construction began in March 2007, the first 48 km long line with 31 stations was opened on November 24, 2012, and four more lines have been opened to date. The long-term plan envisages a 375 km network with 13 lines by 2050.
history
With a population of 8.8 million (2013), Hangzhou is one of the ten largest cities in China. The planning of the subway network began in the 1990s. Construction work on this first project was scheduled to begin in September 2003, but was stopped by the city government due to cost overruns.
In 2005, a new attempt was made to plan the underground network, which is to be built in three phases: lines 1 and 2 and part of line 4 were built first, lines 1 and 4 and three should be completed by 2020 more lines will be built; another three lines are to follow by 2050.
The preliminary project for Line 1 was approved by the city government two years later on January 11, 2007, and work on the first line began on March 28, 2007.
In November 2012, Line 1 was the first line in the network to go into operation, making Hangzhou the 17th city in China with a subway. The line is also the longest first section of a new subway system ever opened in China. The construction cost was 22 billion renminbi , which corresponds to approximately 3.5 billion US dollars.
On April 23, 2020, further parts of line 5 and the new line 16 opened after the first part of line 5 opened in June 2019.
