From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Seoul Subway Line 9 is a subway line in Seoul, currently under construction.
Line 9 is planned to run east from Gimpo Airport (connecting to Line 5) along the south bank of the Han River, and will be opened in three phases. Construction of Phase 1, between Gimpo Airport and Gangnam, began in April 2002 and is due to be opened in 2009. Major transfer points on the first phase will be Dangsan (Line 2), Yeouido (Line 5), Noryangjin (Line 1), Dongjak (Line 4), and Express Bus Terminal (Line 3 & Line 7) Stations.
Phase 2 will run from Gangnam to Sports Complex Station on Line 2, while Phase 3 will run to Bangi-dong in eastern Seoul. While Phase 2 is planned to go ahead as scheduled, a Seoul Metropolitan Government website describes construction of phase 3 as being suspended in consideration of transport demand and financial situations.[1]
It will be a 3-track subway providing express service on separate tracks similar to the New York Subway. All stations will be equipped with elevators, escalators and platform screen doors. It will be the first privately run subway line in Korea.
There were plans to eventually extend subway line 9 north from Gimpo train depot and across the Han River to meet the Line 3 and the Gyeongui Line at Daegok Station in Goyang as early as 2008.[2]
[edit] Stations
As of May 1st of 2008, the official names of the stations in Phase 1 have been confirmed.[3] Barring extreme circumstances, the listed names of stations 901 through 925 will be used when Line 9 is opened next year.
