Yuzhu Station (Chinese: 鱼珠站), formerly Maogang Station (茅岗站) during planning,[1][2] is a station on Line 5 and Line 13 of the Guangzhou Metro.[3] It is located under Yumao Road (鱼茅路) near the south of the Maogang Interchange (茅岗立交) on Huangpu Avenue (黄埔大道) in the Huangpu District.[4] It opened in 28 December 2009.[5]

History

[edit]

Yuzhu station opened for line 5 on December 28, 2009. The station was initially built with provisions for the future construction and integration of Line 13, however this was while Line 13 was still projected to use the smaller Type L light metro cars as Line 5 used. Due to overcrowding on routes using the smaller Type L cars, Line 13 was instead upgraded to use high capacity 8-car Type A cars. During phase I construction, Line 13 platforms were extended south to accommodate the longer trains with the platform heights adjusted accordingly. Line 13 began servicing the station with the rest of Phase I on December 28, 2017.

Future

[edit]

Line 13 Phase II

[edit]

While currently the terminus for phase 1 of Line 13, phase 2 will extend the route west into the core of Guangzhou, terminating at Chaoyang station. As part of the extension, projected to open in 2025, a yard for the route is being constructed adjacent to the existing yard for Line 5.

Line 28

[edit]

The planned high-speed metro Line 28 is projected to serve Yuzhu station, however the line is still in planning and no construction timeline has been announced yet.
