On October 29, all lines of Wuhan Metro Line 12 were put into operation. As confirmed by the China Urban Rail Transit Association, this is currently the longest subway ring line in China. The total length of the line is 59.9 kilometers. It has 37 underground stations, connecting the 7 central urban areas of Wuhan, connecting the two major railway hubs of Hankou Station and Wuchang Station. It can be transferred to 18 existing and planned lines, and the entire journey takes about 96 minutes. The line crosses the Yangtze River twice and the Han River once, including the domestic super-long subway shield tunnel, overcoming technical problems such as high water pressure, composite strata, and long-range underwater shields. It is a demonstration project for domestic cross-river subway tunnel cluster construction and large ring road rail transit construction. After the opening of traffic, it will further break the bottleneck of cross-river commuting caused by natural barriers between the Yangtze River and Han River, and support the construction of integrated transportation hubs in the core cities of the Yangtze River Economic Belt.
