Asia's longest subway loop line under construction

The construction site of Line 12 of the Wuhan metro, the world's second longest subway loop and Asia's first, is still a busy scene at the end of this year. The 59.9-km line is the first subway loop line in Wuhan, capital of Central China's Hubei Province, with 37 stations.

Line 12 will connect the three towns of Wuhan, namely Wuchang, Hankou and Hanyang, stretching across seven administrative districts. Meanwhile, the line is designed to go under the Yangtze River twice, the Hanjiang River and two lakes.

According to Wuhan Metro Group, the Line 12 will ease the pressure on Wuhan's urban passenger flow upon operation, thus further improving the city's comprehensive transportation system.
