China News Service, Beijing, February 22 (Reporter Xu Jing) Beijing Rail Transit will achieve initial operation of 3 (sections) of approximately 45.3 kilometers of lines this year, and promote the construction of 10 (sections) of 201.7 kilometers of lines under construction.
It is expected that by the end of this year, Beijing’s urban rail transit operating mileage will exceed 880 kilometers.
On the 22nd, the Beijing Major Project Construction Headquarters held a mobilization and deployment meeting for rail transit construction work, and the "2024 Beijing Urban Rail Transit Construction Plan" was officially released.
Yang Liming, Director of the First Rail Division of the Beijing Major Project Office, introduced that this year, Beijing Rail Transit will realize the first phase of Line 3 (Dongsishitiao-Dongfeng), Line 12 (Sijiqing-Dongfeng), and the Changping Line South Extension 1.
