The Taipei Metro Xinzhuang Line is a high-capacity underground extension of the Zhonghe Line in Taiwan. The Xinzhuang Line is the first Taipei Metro line to cross under the Tamsui River and is open for commercial service.
The section between Zhongxiao Xinsheng and Daqiaotou opened on November 3, 2010, along with the opening of the Luzhou Line, and the Daqiaotou to Fu Jen University section opened on January 5, 2012. The section between Guting and Zhongxiao Xinsheng opened on September 30, 2012, after which the remaining extension to Huilong opened on June 29, 2013.
As of April 2016, the Xinzhuang Depot was still under construction and expected to be finished on January 2018, completing the Xinzhuang Line.
The line runs from Guting in Da'an of Taipei, through transfer stations on the Nangang and Tamsui lines, beneath the Tamsui River, through Sanchong, and terminates in Xinzhuang in New Taipei. The 19.7 km (12.2 mi) line has 16 underground stations and one maintenance depot. The section in Taipei is 7.3 km (7 stations), while the section in New Taipei totals 12.4 km (9 stations). The entire line will be equipped with platform screen doors. Estimates were for travel time between Huilong to Taipei Main Station to be reduced to 32 minutes after the line opened.
