en.Wedoany.com Reported - On June 16, a press conference under the "Changes in the Sub-Center" series disclosed that Beijing Rail Transit Line 22 (Pinggu Line) will be basically ready for operation by the end of this year. This line is the first cross-provincial urban rail transit line in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region and a landmark project of "Rail Transit in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Region."

Line 22 starts from Dongdaqiao in Chaoyang District in the west and ends at Pinggu New Town in the east, passing through Chaoyang District, Tongzhou District, and Sanhe City in Hebei Province. It connects key functional areas such as the CBD core area, the city sub-center, Yanjiao, and Pinggu New Town. The total length of the line is approximately 81.8 kilometers, with 22 stations. The section from Hongmiao to Pinggu, planned to open this year, is about 79.1 kilometers long and includes 20 stations, of which 15 are in Beijing and 5 in Hebei Province.

Currently, the main structures of all 20 stations along the line have been topped out, the sections have been connected, and 56% of the main line track laying has been completed. Overall construction is progressing as planned. Once the line is operational, the fastest travel time from the three northern counties of Langfang in Hebei Province to the Beijing city sub-center will be about 9 minutes, to Hongmiao Station in Chaoyang District about 28 minutes, and the commute time from Pinggu District to Hongmiao Station will be shortened to about 53 minutes. This marks the realization of a one-hour cross-province commuting circle, effectively alleviating cross-border road traffic pressure.
