Metro line reaches Fengxian District

The south extension of Metro Line 5 has passed a technical evaluation and will start operations before the end of this month, Shanghai Shentong Metro Group said.

The extension will be the first Metro line operating in suburban Fengxian District.

The new line starts at Dongchuan Road Station and ends at Fengxian Xincheng Station, covering 19.5 kilometers with nine stops.

After the extension opens, Line 5 trains will split at Dongchuan Road, with a branch to Minhang Development Zone and the main route going to Fengxian Xincheng.

Dongchuan Road Station has become a transport hub with a bus terminal and parking lot.

Zhou Kewei, chief of the station, said some 30,000 passengers travel in and out of the station every day — by 2020 that is expected to hit 110,000.

Line 5 is also upgrading its signal system.
