History
When Line 3 was approved in 2012, the station was called Shishan Dong (East) station, and it was an elevated station and the northern terminus of the line. In 2013, Line 3 was decided to extend from this station to the north, and the station became an intermediate station.[5] In 2015, the station was changed to an underground station and renamed to Shishan station.[6][a] In 2022 the station name was adjusted to Bo'ai Zhonglu station.
Construction of the station officially started on 18 November 2016, and the groundbreaking ceremony of Line 3 was also held at the station on that day.[8] On 4 October 2017, the first floor of the station was successfully poured, which laid the foundations to enter the main structure construction stage.[9]
On 25 December 2018, the main structure of the site successfully topped out.[10] On 18 October 2023, this site took the lead in launching comprehensive joint commissioning.[11]
The station opened on 23 August 2024 as part of the section from "Lianhe to Foshan University".[12][b]
Future development
In the future, this station will become an interchange with Line 8. Line 8 is a long-term planning line, which is planned to be set underneath Middle Bo'ai Road and intersect with Line 3. During the partial construction of Line 3 of this station, the transfer interface was reserved at the concourse level.[13]
Notes
- It is a different station to Shishan railway station on the Guangzhou-Zhaoqing Intercity Railway, the two stations are not alike[7]
- Prior to opening, it was known as part of the 'rear section' or 'section under construction'
