The Line 5 Phase I starts at Yuanbozhongxin Station, and the general direction is from north to south, and final station is Tiaodeng Station, Dadukou District. The section has a total length of 39.75km and 25 stations. At present, the section from Line 5 Phase 1 Yuanbozhongxin to Dashiba has been opened to traffic, and the section from Dashiba to Tiaodeng is under construction.

According to Zhao Hai, Manager of the First-stage Track Laying Project Department of Line 5 of China Railway Second Bureau, the total length of Shiqiaopu to Tiaodeng Section of Line 5 Phase I is about 21km, and the length of the laid steel rail is 25m each. “Short rail connection” refers to the completion of rail laying.

“If the train is going to start on the track, it is necessary to “seamlessly dock” the short track that has been laid, to achieve “long rail connection.” Zhao Hai said that according to the plan, it is expected that Shiqiaopu to Tiaodeng Section of Line 5 Phase I will achieve “long rail connection”, which will also create favorable conditions for the follow-up electromechanical installation and system engineering construction, and further speed up the construction of the South Section of Line 5 Phase I.
