Lanzhou Metro or Lanzhou Rail Transit is a rapid transit system under construction in Lanzhou, Gansu. The vision for the Lanzhou Metro includes three urban metro lines totaling 90 kilometers (56 mi), and two 117-kilometer (73 mi) suburban rail lines.[1][2] Due to the urban geography of Lanzhou following a river valley, most of the urban rail network will run east-west parallel to the Yellow River. The two regional lines will connect the main urban centre with Lanzhou Zhongchuan Airport, Yuzhong county and Gaolan county.[1] The first two lines will cost about 23 billion yuan ($3.6 billion) and be completed by 2020.[3]

Line 1

Dongfanghong Square Station under construction in October 2017

Line 1 started construction on July 9, 2012. Line 1 is 26.78 kilometers (16.6 mi) with 20 stations.[4][5] The line is completely underground with a completion deadline of 2017.[1] The opening date for Line 1 was pushed to 2018.[6] The operating speed will be 80 kilometres per hour (50 mph).[7] At least some of the stations are fitted with full glass platform screen doors.[8]

On 22 October 2015, a fire broke out at the construction site of Donggang station. No casualties were reported by authorities.[9]

Line 2

Line 2 was planned to start construction at the end of 2015.[10] Built in phases, the first phase is 9.06 kilometers (5.6 mi) with 9 new stations (connecting to the existing Dongfanghong Square station of line 1). It will run from Yanbei Road to Dongfanghong Square, all within Chengguan district .
