Recently, Zhejiang Hangzhou Metro official website released "Hangzhou Urban Rail Transit Line 18 Phase I Project Environmental Impact Assessment Information Publicity" "Hangzhou Urban Rail Transit Line 10 Phase II Project Environmental Impact Assessment Information Publicity" "Hangzhou Urban Rail Transit 4 Publicity of Environmental Impact Assessment Information for Phase III Project of Line No. 3 lines of the Hangzhou Metro Phase 4 started the EIA publicity. According to the project plan, all the lines of Phase 4 of the Hangzhou Metro will start construction in the second quarter.

The fourth phase ushered in the construction of the whole line

The fourth phase of Hangzhou Metro includes the second phase of Line 3, the third phase of Line 4, the second phase of Line 9, the second phase of Line 10, the third phase of Line 10, the first phase of Line 12, the first phase of Line 15, and the first phase of Line 18 The first phase and nine projects including Wuchang Parking Lot of Line 5 have a total length of 152.9 kilometers, a total investment of about 138.791 billion yuan, and a planning period of 2022-2027. Among them, there are 5 extension line projects and 3 new line projects.

Phase II of Line 3: Starting from Xingqiao Station, the terminal of Phase I of Line 3, and ending at Xingguang Street Station, the total length is 7.4 kilometers, the design speed is 80 kilometers per hour, and there are 5 stations. The expected opening time is 2027. It mainly passes through Xingqiao Street, Qiaosi Street, Nanyuan Street, Donghu Street, etc., improving the coverage of the rail transit network in Linping area, and connecting Linping New City, Old City and the main city in series; after completion, it will be in operation with the first phase of Line 3 , to strengthen the connection between the west and northeast of the city and the main city center. At present, the construction of Century Avenue Station, the transfer station of the second phase of Line 3, has started, and it is also the earliest construction of the fourth phase of the subway.

Phase III of Line 4: The west extension section starts from Chihua Street Station (not included) and ends at Yungu Station. The west extension section is 5 kilometers long and has 4 stations. The south extension section starts from Wenyan Station and ends at Puyan Station (not included). The south extension section is 5 kilometers long and has 4 stations.

The south extension is from Shuangpu Depot Station to Shuangpu Station (not included), and the north extension is from Xiangshan Station of the Academy of Fine Arts (not included) to Hangzhou West Railway Station. It is expected to be put into trial operation in 2028. It is the strategic north-south artery connecting Hangzhou West Railway Station, Future Science and Technology City, Xiaoheshan Higher Education Park, Zhijiang New City, and Shuangpu New District—to realize the direct connection between Zhijiang New City and the West Science and Technology Corridor; to realize the future science and technology city area Connected with Zhijiang, Shuangpu and other regions.

The fastest progress of Line 12 is the Haichuangyuan Station, which is transferred to Line 19 (Airport Rail Express). The main structure of this station has been capped, and the follow-up will provide a strong guarantee for the convenient passage of the surrounding Hangzhou Normal University Asian Games venues. .

Phase I of Line 15: The line starts from Xiaoshan Yatai Road Station and ends at Linping Chongxian Station, with a total length of 40.5 kilometers, a design speed of 80 kilometers per hour, and 30 stations.
