History[]

The Harbin Metro was approved by the State Council in 2005. The initial investment was estimated to cost US$643 million. The project was headed by the Harbin Municipal People's Government Metro Construction, which established a Track Traffic Construction Office led by the city's construction commission. In 2006, an official "Initiation Ceremony of Harbin Metro Trial Project" was held, signifying the actual implementation of Harbin Line 1 project.[4][5] The builders made use of a 10.1 km air defense tunnel built in the 1970s as part of the "7381" civil air-defense, which forms part of Line 1.[6]

Construction on Line 1 began a second time on 29 September 2009[6] and was later halted and began a third time in March 2010.[7] In March 2011 the contract for traincars for first line was signed with Changchun Railway Vehicles co. ltd. Target date for opening of first line of 17.47 km length with 18 stations was set to the end of 2012.[8] Line 1 opened on 26 September 2013.[citation needed]
