History

edit

When Line 3 was approved in 2012, this station was known as Shishan Dong (E), and it was an elevated station and the northern terminus of the line. In 2013, Line 3 was decided to extend from this station to the north, and the station became an intermediate station.[4] In 2015, the station was changed to an underground station and renamed Shishan.[5][a] In 2022 the station name was adjusted to Bo'ai Zhonglu.

The construction of the station officially started on November 18, 2016, and the groundbreaking ceremony of Line 3 was also held at the station on that day.[7] On October 4, 2017, the first floor of the station was successfully poured, which laid the foundations to enter the construction stage of the main structure.[8]

On December 25, 2018, the main structure of the site was successfully capped.[9] On October 18, 2023, this site took the lead in launching comprehensive joint commissioning.[10]

Future development

edit

In the future, this station will become an interchange with Line 8. Line 8 is a long-term planning line, which is planned to be set underneath Middle Bo'ai Road and intersect with Line 3. During the partial construction of Line 3 of this station, the transfer interface was reserved at the concourse level.[13]
