History
editIn 2015, the station was planned to be completed by mid-2018, with six out of the 12 tunnel boring machine breakthroughs necessary completed.[2] By February 2018, the main steel structure was complete and work moved into the stone roof cladding.[3] In November 2018, work was almost finished, with only final touches being added.[4]
The station opened with the rest of the first phase of the Red Line on 8 May 2019.[5] Service on the Gold Line began when it opened on 22 November of the same year,[6] and Green Line service opened on December 10.[7]
Msheireb Metro Station was awarded the 2020 World Special Prize Interior by the Prix Versailles.[8]
