Lianhua Road Station of Metro Line 1 will begin construction of a station hall from June 23, said Shanghai Shentong Metro Group.

The expansion is scheduled to be finished before the end of 2019. During construction, the operation of Line 1 at the station will not be influenced, but exit 2 and the north exit of the underground passage connected to the station will be closed.

The north square of the station will also be partially shut down, which will slow passenger flow during daily rush hours.
