en.Wedoany.com Reported - Today (June 2), the Beijing Major Projects Construction Headquarters Office and Beijing Metro Construction Administration Co., Ltd. announced that the Phase 1 North Section of Beijing Rail Transit Line R4 has officially entered the construction phase. As a major landmark project under Beijing's implementation of the "15th Five-Year Plan," this high-capacity rapid backbone line in the capital's northeast direction will further densify the rail transit network and inject strong momentum into the capital's high-quality development.

The Phase 1 North Section of Line R4 spans 20.78 kilometers, starting from Dongba in Chaoyang District in the south and ending at Yanjing Bridge in Shunyi District in the north, connecting the three districts of Chaoyang, Tongzhou, and Shunyi. Once completed, the line will effectively fill the gap in rail transit coverage in northeastern Beijing, enhancing connectivity efficiency between the central urban area, plain new towns, and the city's sub-center. The line will link the Jinzhan International Cooperation Service Zone in Chaoyang, and connect key functional areas such as the Sino-German Industrial Park and the Innovation Industry Cluster Demonstration Zone in Shunyi, driving urban renewal and economic vitality along the route through a "rail + industry" model. It will also optimize ground transportation services at Beijing Capital International Airport, achieving efficient integration between rail transit and the aviation hub.

Upon completion and operation of the Phase 1 North Section of Line R4, the capital's rail transit network layout will be further optimized, significantly enhancing the transportation capacity of northeastern Beijing, and supporting the capital's international exchanges, industrial collaboration, and improvements in people's livelihoods.
