The Line 4 is a new underground rapid transit line under construction[1] in Milan, Italy, part of the Milan Metro system. The line was planned to be completed in 2015, as part of the works for the upcoming Milan Expo. However, delays in planning, financing[2] and construction works forced to postpone the opening, and the line is now expected to open in 2022.[3][4][5]

The line will be 15 km (9.3 mi) long with 21 stations.[5] The expected annual ridership is 87 million. The total estimated cost is about €1.7 billion. 786 million will be granted by the government, 512 million will come by private investors and 400 from the city of Milan.[6] The line will feature completely automatic driverless trains[7] and is designed for a capacity of 24-28,000 passengers per hour in each direction.[8]

The consortium ATM - Impregilo will be responsible for the construction works.[6][9]

Route

The line is planned to connect the south-western neighborhood of Lorenteggio with the Linate Airport on the east, passing through the city center.
