The Circular (Chinese: 環狀線) or Yellow line (code Y) of Taipei Metro is an elevated, medium-capacity rapid transit currently under construction in Taipei and New Taipei City, Taiwan. Stage I construction consists of the section from New Taipei Industrial Park on the Taoyuan Airport line to Dapinglin on the Xindian line and will be about 15.4 km (9.6 mi) long with 14 stations.[1] This initial section was scheduled to open on June 16, 2018, but has been delayed until the end of 2018.[2] As of August 2018, the project was 91.65% finished. [3]

The north and south sections of the Circle Line are considered separate projects and will be proposed to the Ministry of Transportation and Communications.[1]

Construction

Ansaldo STS will supply electromechanical equipment for the line, including driverless technology and CBTC Radio signalling.[4] Dapinglin Station, the only underground station on the line, is being constructed by RSEA Engineering Corporation and will employ the cut-and-cover method.[5]

Construction for Stage 1 officially broke ground on 11 July 2011 on a 6.3 km (3.9 mi) elevated section between Zhonghe and Banqiao.[6] The section is estimated to cost NT$13.7 billion, with the entire first-stage 15.4 km (9.6 mi) route estimated to cost NT$54.7 billion to construct.

The line will include the first elevated split platform in the system at Huazhong Bridge, Qiaohe, and Zhongyuan Stations due to the narrowness of the available station area.[7][8]
