Station overview

The station will be a two-level, underground station with an island platform.

Originally, the station was to be named "Anhe Road Station". However, the Department of Rapid Transit Systems felt that the name was too broad. Thus, on July 22, 2011, it was announced that the station would be renamed to Xinyi Anhe Station to more accurately describe the station location.[3]

History

Construction

The station will be 210 m (690 ft) long and 30 m (98 ft) meters in wide. Excavation depth will be at 22 m (72 ft) meters. It will have five entrances, two elevators for the disabled, and two vent shafts.[1] One of the entrances will be integrated into a joint development building.

The design theme for the station is "Life melody - creation of a spatial atmosphere of a refined metropolitan lifestyle".
