subway under construction

Construction on a 5 line light rail network was approved to begin construction in 2003. As of 2009, plans changed. The Hangzhou Municipal Government and Hong Kong's MTR signed an agreement where MTR would build and operate the city's first subway.

Hangzhou's first line, the 48 km Hangzhou Metro Line 2, will consist of 41 km of underground track and 7 km of at-grade and elevated sections. The system will eventually comprise 10 lines covering 450 km.

Civil construction works for the project commenced in March 2007. A total of 30 stations, running from south to north of Hangzhou city, to other second cities, namely Xiasha (下沙), Linping (臨平) and Jiangnan (江南). The line is expected to open in 2012.
