The extension of Metro Line 9 opens later this month in Shanghai's Songjiang District and road work is set to start on an expressway between the city and neighboring Zhejiang Province.
Yishan Station on Line 9, which connects to Line 3, will open on December 28.
Line 9 connects Songjiang New Town with Guilin Road in Xuhui District while Line 3 runs between Shanghai South Railway Station in the southwest to Jiangwan Town in the northeast.
A shuttle bus running between Guilin Road Station on Line 9 and Yishan Road Station on Line 3 will be cancelled when the new station opens.
In the meantime, a section of the Shanghai-Hangzhou Expressway, also called the A8 Route, will be partially closed for an expansion project.
The A8 is closed to all vehicles moving west to east except for buses on 15 routes. Thirteen of the bus routes start in Jinshan District while the others begin in Songjiang District.
Officials said the first phase of the project will continue until the end of April. From May until the end of next year, this section of the expressway will be closed completely, according to an earlier report.
