History

In 2013, Wuhu initiated plans for the development of rail transit infrastructure. Subsequently, on 9 June 2015, the official website of the Wuhu Municipal Government unveiled the "Wuhu Urban Rail Transit Construction Plan (2016-2020)" to seek public feedback on the environmental impact assessment. By December that year the Wuhu Rail Transit Plan received approval from the National Development and Reform Commission.

On 2 February 2016 the State Council of the People's Republic of China sanctioned the "Wuhu City Rail Transit Construction Plan (2016-2020)." Concurrently, the National Development and Reform Commission greenlit the "Wuhu City Rail Transit Phase I Construction Plan (2016-2020), Anhui Province." Subsequent milestones included the acceptance of the "Environmental Impact Report of the Phase I Project of Wuhu Rail Transit Line 2" by the Anhui Provincial Environmental Protection Department in March, with the publication of the "Environmental Impact Report of the Wuhu Urban Rail Transit Line 1 Project."

From July to September, the Anhui Provincial Development and Reform Commission successively approved the feasibility study reports for the first phase of Rail Transit Line 2 and Line 1 respectively. A pivotal survey event for the initial phase of the Wuhu Rail Transit Project Lines 1 and 2 was conducted on 24 December, leading to the commencement of construction at Xilu Station. Following this, on 26 December, the Wuhu Municipal Government organized a construction survey initiative for the first phase of Wuhu Rail Transit Lines 1 and 2.

Progress continued as Wuhu Rail Transit Line 2 initiated drilling operations on 20 April 2017, while on 26 June that year the first pile of Wuhu Rail Transit Line 1 commenced drilling activities.
