Shuangjing Station (simplified Chinese: 双井站; traditional Chinese: 雙井站; pinyin: Shuāngjǐng Zhàn) is a subway station on Line 10 of the Beijing Subway, located in Shuangjing Subdistrict, Chaoyang District. The station itself has full platform doors inside. Exit A leads directly into the basement of the VIVA! Mall. The station is one of Beijing's busiest, having handled a peak entry and exit traffic of 100,000 people on May 5, 2013.[1]

Shuangjing Station was designated to be the interchange between Line 7 and Line 10. However, the Line 10 platforms were not originally designed to handle additional interchange traffic. At around 10 meters wide, the single center platform is one of the narrowest on Line 10. Beijing Subway authorities determined that the narrow platform will not be able to serve the large transfer volumes between Lines 7 and 10. Therefore, on December 28, 2014 when Line 7 opened, trains on Line 7 did not stop at this station even though the station's Line 7 platforms are complete.[2]

Subway authorities are currently planning to rebuild and expand of the station's mezzanine and transfer corridors to handle the new demand. Several implementation options are being investigated. The first option is to close the entire station and complete expansions in one year. The second option keeps the existing station open but drags the construction timetable to about three years.[3] Construction is expected to start in 2017 while the station is operating, lasting at least two years.[4]
