The Fifth Round Planning of Wuhan Metro in 2024

The fifth round planning of Wuhan Metro in 2024: the second phase adjustment of rail transit line 3, the extension of line 2 1, the fourth phase of line1,the extension of line 5, the extension of line 6, the first phase of line 10, and the first phase increase of line 9. At present, Wuhan is actively planning the regional routes of the city circle, further exerting the role of radiation, and accelerating the integration of Wuhan Metro with national railways, urban railways and public transport. In the next step, we will actively promote the fifth round of rail transit construction planning and promote the formation of a ring+radial perspective rail network structure as soon as possible.

By 2024, the mileage of Wuhan subway will reach 606 kilometers. "Compared with similar cities in China, the opening scale of Wuhan rail transit is at the same level as that of Chengdu, Nanjing and other cities, and there is still much room for improvement in operating mileage." Deng, dean of the Municipal and Traffic Engineering Design Institute of the Yangtze River Survey, Planning and Design Institute, believes that based on the requirements of Wuhan's urban scale and development, the proportion of rail transit in public transportation should reach more than 60%, and there is still a certain gap between Wuhan and this requirement. Therefore, it is imperative for Wuhan to vigorously develop rail transit construction in the "Tenth Five-Year Plan" and in the future.

At present, Wuhan is actively planning the regional routes of the city circle, further exerting the role of radiation, and accelerating the integration of Wuhan Metro with national railways, urban railways and public transport. In the next step, we will actively promote the fifth round of rail transit construction planning, promote the formation of a ring+radial perspective rail network structure as soon as possible, aim at providing high-quality life for the people, implement the concept of urban development oriented by public transportation, and plan and construct Wuhan rail transit at a high level.
