According to the initial documents of Xi Metro Line 8, the construction period of the line is four years, and it is expected to be completed and opened to traffic by the end of 2023. However, during the epidemic, the subway line 8 project under construction could not be constructed for a long time. And after the resumption of work, the construction period was readjusted according to the progress. At the same time, there is another reason, that is, because there are too many underground cultural relics in Xi 'an, the project of Xi 'an Metro Line 8 is often restricted by cultural relics exploration, which leads to a long construction time.
At this point, in order to seize the construction period, all the staff of the project department went all out to promote the smooth completion of the work of Xi Metro Line 8. Therefore, according to the official schedule, Xi Metro Line 8 should be opened to traffic as scheduled in 2025.
Brief introduction of Xi Metro Line 8:
Xi Metro Line 8 is the main skeleton line of Xi urban rail transit network, which runs through five administrative districts including Yanta District, Xincheng District, Baqiao District, weiyang district and Lianhu District and five new development zones including High-tech Zone, Qujiang New District, Chanba Ecological Park, Economic Development Zone and Daxing New District.
This line obviously uses six grouped A-cars. Compared with the six marshalling B-cars widely used in the early stage of Xi subway construction, the transportation capacity has been greatly improved. At the same time, ATO driverless mode is adopted, which is one of the first unmanned lines of Xi 'an Metro.
