Prior to the opening of Line 11, the dismantling work of the section from this station to Tianhe Park of Line 21 began October 2, 2024, and the terminus of Line 21 was adjusted north to Tianhe Park. The 6B train type's shielding doors and glass panel false walls of the outer platform will be removed, and then the appropriate shielding doors of the 8A train type will be installed. At the same time, it was necessary to dismantle the outer platform and the third track between the station and the Tianhe Park station area and replace the signal system to Line 11 standards.[6]
