The Sanying line (Chinese: 三鶯線) is a metro line in New Taipei, Taiwan under construction. Approval for the construction of the line was given by the central government on 2 June 2015. Constructed on elevated tracks, the line will be 14.3 km long and will have 12 stations and one depot. It will run from Dingpu Station on the Tucheng line along Zhongyang Road to Sanxia and then cross National Freeway No. 3 to Yingge.[1] A turnkey contract was signed with Ansaldo STS SpA and Hitachi as members of the ARH consortium on 21 June 2016. As leader of the consortium, Ansaldo STS's scope of work included the supply of train control technology and all the electromechanical systems for an equivalent value of €219.8 million (VAT excluded). Hitachi's scope of work included the design and manufacture of 29 two-car trains.[2] The main project started construction on 21 July 2016 and is expected to be completed and opened to traffic by the end of 2023.[3] In addition to the main line, there is also a plan to extend the line to Bade District, Taoyuan. This 3.9 km extension would connect to the Green Line of the Taoyuan MRT.[3]

Construction Progress

As of August 2017, construction is 12% complete according to the website of New Taipei City's Department of Rapid Transportation Systems.[4]

Controversy

In August 2017, residents of Sanxia District protested against the planned station at Maizaiyuan, citing controversy over land usage.[4]
