Guanqiao station is a future elevated station of Line 4 of the Guangzhou Metro. It will be located at Guanqiao Village, Shilou Town, Panyu District, Guangzhou. The station began construction in December 2023 and will be completed by the end of 2026.[1] [2]

History

This station was originally a reserved station on Line 4. Because most of the surrounding areas of the station are farmland and there is no road to connect with the outside world, the station was not built simultaneously with Line 4, therefore only the equipment required for the signal system was installed at the predetermined location of the station, and no civil facilities for the station were reserved.

As construction of the Guangzhou–Huizhou intercity railway neared completion, the station started planning construction around 2020 to channel passengers onto the intercity line. The preliminary design estimate for the station project was approved in February 2021.[3] The station was originally scheduled to start construction in the second half of 2021 and be completed and opened in 2024. As a result, the parties issued a supervision tender in October of the same year, but suspended the tender ahead of schedule in March 2022. In May 2022, the construction bidding supervision bidding was restarted again. In September 2022, the relevant person in charge said in response to media and public inquiries that the station has completed the bidding for the project and is carrying out preliminary work such as land acquisition, planning and construction approval.[4] [5]

In February 2024, the construction of the steel structure of the station began.[6]
