History

The Harbin Metro was approved by the State Council of the People's Republic of China in July 2005. The initial investment was estimated to cost US$643 million. The project was headed by the Harbin Municipal People's Government Metro Construction, which established a Track Traffic Construction Office led by the city's construction commission. In 2006, an official "Initiation Ceremony of Harbin Metro Trial Project" was held, signifying the actual implementation of Harbin Line 1 project. [11] [12] The builders made use of a 10.1 km air defense tunnel built in the 1970s as part of the "7381" civil air-defense project, which forms the part of Line 1 between Xidaqiao and Tobacco Manufacturer stations where both tracks run in one large tunnel with side platforms. [13]

Construction on Line 1 began a second time on 29 September 2009 [13] and was later halted before being resumed on 1 March 2010. [14] In March 2011 the contract for traincars for first line was signed with Changchun Railway Vehicles co. ltd. The target date for opening of the first line, 17.47 km in length, with 18 stations was set to the end of 2012. [15] Line 1 opened on 26 September 2013. [16]

Line 2 construction began in December 2014, with the first phase opening on 19 September 2021, spanning 18.5 km with 16 stations. [5] Line 3, a circular line, saw its southeast half-ring (19.19 km with 19 stations) open on 26 November 2021. [7] The remaining northwest section opened on 26 November 2024, completing the 32.18 km loop with 28 stations. [17]

Future lines

On 18 April 2016, the official website of Harbin Metro Group released the "Announcement of Environmental Impact Assessment for the Second Phase of Harbin Urban Rail Transit Construction Plan (2017-2022)". The planned line length is about 85 km, including 65 stations. [18] According to the updated second phase construction planning announced in July 2022 (2022-2027), only Lines 4 and 5 are planned. The length was shortened to 70.6 km with 54 stations. [19] In July 2025, the Harbin rail transit network plan (2021-2035) was approved, confirming the inclusion of these lines.
