It's bad news for Northern Rock.

Regarding when the north extension line of Metro 1 Line will start, the relevant person of Nanjing Metro Construction Command said that it is still early to start construction of the north extension line. Judging from the preliminary feasibility study report, they only made a preliminary study on the route direction and planning and design of the North Extension Line. In other words, the planned route of the north extension line of 1 line extends from Maigao Bridge to Yanziji, with a length of 5 kilometers. There are three stations, Xiaozhuang, Jixiang Temple and Yanziji, all of which are elevated stations, with an estimated investment of 500 million. Now, according to the requirements of the Nanjing municipal government departments, they are still working hard to make the feasibility study report of the west extension of Metro Line 2 and Line 3, and the preparation project of the environmental impact report has started. It is expected that the report will be completed before the end of the year, and it will be approved by the State Environmental Protection Administration before February 30 next year.

However, a person familiar with the matter said that the government "delayed" the construction of the northern extension of 1 line, mainly because there were many old industrial areas and few businesses there. Considering the comprehensive benefits of all aspects, it is more reasonable to build a subway line that "crosses the river" first.
