As of May 25, some 72.90 percent of the workload had been completed.

In late April, the architecture on Floor B1 was basically completed.

The 2.05-billion USD line, which runs 19.7 km between District 1 and District 9, is the first of at least six metro lines to be built in the city.

Expected to open in the first quarter of 2021, the metro line stations will be linked to buses operating in the vicinity of the line to help people reach the station more easily.

Construction began in August 2012 with 14 terminals, including three underground.
