Station layout

Initially, the station has 2 underground side platforms. To accept new tracks towared to Line 1 branch, 2 side platforms are under construction.[2]

Exits

The station had two exits, lettered A and B. Both were accessible.[3] Due to the re-construction of the concourse as part of the station expansion, both exits were permanently closed, demolished and expected to be replaced by four newly built exits.

Station closure

Line 1 Branch will be connected to the Line 1 mainline at this station, so the project will need to renovate and expand this station.[4] According to the second announcement of the environmental impact assessment of the Line 1 Branch Line project released in October 2023, this station will construct a new platform for the branch line of Line 1, and the new platform will be combined with the existing Line 1 platform to form a separate island platform, so that the station will become a double-island four-track station, which is extremely rare in China.[2]

In March 2024, the China Railway Tunnel Engineering Bureau announced the installation and construction on Shijingshan Stadium South Road in Beijing, announcing that in order to implement the construction of the branch line of Line 1, the station is planned to be closed from July 2024 to 2027, and Gucheng and Pingguoyuan stations west of the station will be closed until February 2025. This plan was only a preliminary plan of the construction party. As of March 2025, this plan has not been approved by the Beijing Municipal People's Government and other relevant departments at higher levels, except for Pingguoyuan Station, which is still in the stage of closure and reconstruction. All stations of Line 1 within this section, including this station itself, were still not closed. Since June 2, 2025, the station was closed, and it is expected to reopen on May 3, 2027.[5][6]
