Extensions

West:
In the near future this section of the line (from Andemen Station to Olympic Stadium Station), together with its west extension, will break away from Line 1 to form a new line on the system: Line 10

Line 10, Nanjing Metro

Line 10 will be a future line on the Nanjing Metro system. Although one section of it is already in operation, it is not officially named as Line 10 yet until the entire line is ready to stand independently on its own...

. Line 1 will then run as a straight north-south line from Maigaoqiao Station to CPU Station (China Pharmaceutical University). Currently, an extension that will extend Line 1 further west is under construction. This extension starts from Olympic Stadium Station and will tentatively be 14.4 km in length with 8 stations. It is expected to enter operation in 2015.

North:
There are plans for Line 1 to extend northwards to Yanziji Station. The first phase of the extension line will cover a length of 5 km with 4 elevated stations.
