History

Preliminary planning

In 2001, when he was with the party secretary of Dongguan, Tong Xing used the slogan "a big year for five years to see Metro". The vision to build the Dongguan Rail Transit system was first put on the agenda.

September 2003 to October 2004, China Academy of Urban Planning and Design Institute of Ministry of Railways, "Dongguan Rail Transit Network Planning" project was launched.

November 2004, Dongguan City rail transit construction leading group was established, followed by the development of "Dongguan Rail Transit Network Plan" to be completed by 2020. Dongguan City plans to build a total length of 195 km, with the total number of stations to 55 of the rail network.

September 2006, "Dongguan City Rapid Rail Transit Construction Plan" passed through the Provincial Development and Reform Commission. [6]

December 2006, plan submitted to the National Development and Reform Commission. [7]

February 2007, the mayor of Dongguan, Li Yuquan announced provincial government approval;

In 2006, September 25 to 26, "Dongguan city rapid rail transit construction plan" expert review meeting was held and the "Dongguan City Rapid Rail Transit Construction Plan" was approved. Experts recommended that the initial scale of the plan be brought down to about 60km and give priority to the development of Line 2. Experts also note that the, at the time planned, Guangzhou–Shenzhen intercity railway overlaps with the proposed Line 1 and suggested further research to be made to allow for unified coordination and optimization of both lines. It was suggested that both lines should share tracks to avoid duplication and reduce investment. However, the proposal was rejected with Line 1 and Guangzhou-Shenzhen intercity railway built as separate lines. [8]

July 2009, "Dongguan city rapid rail transit construction plan (2009-2015)" was put to the NDRC and the Ministry of Construction for approval. Approval was granted to build Line 2 Phase I and II , totaling 37.8 km. [9] City rail transit construction project formally entered operational phase.

To cope with the Pearl River Delta region intercity rail transit construction plan, in 2010 the planning was further adjusted to increase planned line length to 218 kilometres and 76 stations. Network construction period was extended to 2025.

In December 2013, with the consent of the State Council, the NDRC approved the short-term construction plan for urban rail transit in Dongguan (2013-2019). According to the approval, the newly-added construction lines approved by the state in Dongguan City are Line 1 Phase I, Line 2 Phase II and Line 3 Phase I, with a total length of 126.9 kilometers. The second phase of the project, a total of 164.6 kilometers of urban rail transit lines in Dongguan City, has been approved by the state.

Construction of Line 2 Phase I and II

April 13, 2009, Dongguan railway station (formerly New Dasan Station) construction officially started, also the starting point of the Metro Line. The subway station hall project to be constructed simultaneously.

On March 26, 2010 Dongguan Metro Line 1 Phase 1 officially started.

December 8, 2014, the two shield tunnel borers break through to Shan Mei ~ Exhibition Centre, marking the second line main project completion. According to the plan, completion for trial operations is to be December 29, 2015. Line 2 opened on 27 May 2016. [10]

Further planning

In 2019, the Dongguan Municipal Development and Reform Bureau issued the "Adjustment of the Construction and Planning of the Second Phase of Dongguan Urban Rail Transit (2019-2024), that is, the Planning of the Line Network (Adjustment)", adding Line 1 Phase II and III as well as branches to Line 1 and 3.

In March 2022, the National Development and Reform Commission approved the second phase construction planning adjustment plan, in which the first phase of Line 1 and Line 3 were optimized and adjusted, and the planning period was adjusted to 2022-2027. [11]
