Nanchang Metro (also known as Nanchang Rail Transit in official documents) is a metro system in Nanchang, Jiangxi, China. Two lines are currently under construction with the first scheduled to be operational in 2015.[1]
The network is expected to exceed 122.2 km in length in 2020 after Phase 2 is finished.[2] Additional complementary lines are also being considered.[3] Five lines are planned with a total length of 163 km of network[4] (excluding the extension of Line 1 & Line 2 planned in the Phase 2).
History
Origins
The construction of a rail transit system in Nanchang was first proposed in the beginning of the 2000s:[5] In August 2005, Jiangxi Provincial Development & Reform Commission and Nanchang City Government replied to the proposal of building a metro system, and the City Government considered listing the proposal in the Eleventh Five-year plan.[6] In November, a plan of 4 metro and 1 light rail was drafted.[7][8] In 2006, the City officially started the research of building a rail transit system.[9] In the second half of 2007, the prophase research of the construction of the system was initiated.[5] On 30 July 2008, the construction of Nanchang Metro was formally included in the priority agenda.[10]
Plans
Initial Plan
In 2008, Nanchang was approved to build a rail transit system by the State Council,[11] and Nanchang Rail Transit Group Co., Ltd. was incorporated on 16 October 2008 to construct and operate Nanchang Metro.[12] On 15 September, the planned 5 routes were notified to the public,[4][13][14][15] which was approved by the State Council in July 2009.[16][17] On 29 July 2009, the construction of Nanchang City Rapid Rail Transit officially began,[18][19] and also on the same day the detailed route and construction plan of the five lines was proclaimed at the press conference.[20]
In April 2013, the Government planned to acquire approval for all 5 lines by 2014, start constructing all planned lines from 2015, and plan Line 6 to Line 10 to complement the existing network.[21][22]
Phase 2
On 31 May 2013, Nanchang Government submitted three candidate plans for the Phase 2 construction (2014-2020) to the expert panel,[23][24] which chose the compromising Plan 2.[25][26] According to the plan, Line 2 will be extended to both directions from 2014,Line 1 from 2016; the construction of Line 3 will start as soon as September 2014, and Line 4 will be constructed as soon as September 2015.[25][27]
Construction
Construction of Line 1 has started on 29 July 2009,[18] and the line is planned to be operational by Q4 2015. As of August 2013, the construction of Line 2 is also started.
