The south section of Line 17 opened on 31 December 2021. The north section of Line 17 opened on 30 December 2023 (except Wangjingxi),[8][9] and the middle section of Line 17 opened on 27 December 2025 (except Guangqumen Wai).[10][11] Wangjingxi opened on 31 January 2026 with the opening of Wangjing West Transport Hub. Guangqumen Wai will open at later date due to construction of Majuan Transport Hub.

Due to the slow construction progress of the middle section (Workers' Stadium to Shilihe), the line was divided into the northern section (Weilaikexuechengbei (Future Science City North) to Workers' Stadium) and the southern section (Shilihe to Jiahuihu) from 2023 to 2025, until the middle section was put into operation in December 2025, completing the line.

History

Project headquarters of Line 17 Dongdaqiao station in March 2017.

In January 2011, an official with the city's planning committee indicated that Line 17 of the subway was planned to run east–west through the city's Central Business District under Guanghua Road with transfers to Lines 4 and 5.[26] However, the line run through Central Business District is known as Line 28 now.

In February 2012, the city's planning committee identified a different Line 17, as a line planned for 2020, that would run north–south from Tiantongyuan to Yizhuang that would run parallel and to the east of Line 5.[27] On 15 June 2012, the city government disclosed tentatively planned stations for the line.[28][12][29][13]

On 10 October 2013, city authorities confirmed that Line 17 would run from the Future Science Park North station in Changping District to Yizhuang Zhanqianqu South station in Tongzhou District.[13] Construction was expected to begin in 2014 and Line 17 would have a total length of 48.9 km (30.4 mi).[13]

Construction of the line began in 2015.[30][31]

In December 2019, Beijing MTR was awarded the Line 17 Operations & Maintenance (O&M) Concession. BJMTR signed the O&M Agreement (with Rolling Stocks Lease) of Beijing Subway Line 17 Project with Beijing Subway Line 17 Investment Co., Ltd.[32]

On 8 July 2022, an EIA document prepared by the China Academy of Railway Sciences (CARS) regarding Phase III (2022–2027) construction of the Beijing Subway announced an 8.9 km (5.5 mi) branch line of Line 17 from Tiantongyuandong Station to Beiqijia, with one intermediate station not identified.[33]

In February 2024, Beijing Infrastructure Investment (BII) announced several tender announcements and modified the number of new stations of branch-styled phase 2 of Line 17 to 3 new stations.[34][35][36][37]
