“十年磨一剑”:从无到有的深圳地铁
Shenzhen Metro that grew from nothing
建立经济特区后,深圳的经济、人口得到迅速发展,又因为毗邻香港,两地交流频繁,过境客流量剧增。为缓解交通压力,满足旅客过境需求,深圳市政府一直酝酿建设一条大容量快速轨道交通。
Since the establishment of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, Shenzhen’s economy and population have grown rapidly. Because of the city’s proximity to Hong Kong, there are frequent exchanges between the two places, and the number of transit passengers has increased dramatically. To ease the traffic pressure and meet the needs of transit passengers, the Shenzhen government planned and has been building a large-capacity rail rapid transit system. Here we take a brief look at the origins of one of the world’s modern rapid transit systems.
1992年7月,深圳市开始筹建地铁。1998年5月,国务院、国家计委批复深圳地铁一期工程项目建议书,深圳获准开展前期工作。
In July 1992, Shenzhen began to prepare for the construction of the Metro. In May 1998, the Shenzhen Metro Phase I project proposal was approved by the State Council and the State Planning Commission and Shenzhen was allowed to carry out preliminary work.
地铁一期工程计划建设正线全长14.825双线公里,设车站14座。其中,1号线东起罗湖站,经深南大道至香蜜湖站,线路长10.682公里;4号线南起皇岗站,穿过市中心区至水晶岛站,线路长4.143双线公里。建设总工期安排4年6个月。
The first phase of the Metro project was expected to have a length of 14.825 kilometers, with 14 stations along the way. Among them, the east section of Line 1, with a length of 10.682 kilometers, ran from Luohu Station to Xiangmihu Station through Shennan Boulevard; the south section of Line 4, with a length of 4.143 kilometers, ran from Huanggang Station to Shuijingdao Station. The total construction period was scheduled to be four years and six months.
为节省建设投资成本,提高地铁运营效益,2000年5月,深圳市政府同意地铁1号线向西延伸至会展中心站(当时的会展中心规划选址于侨城东路与白石路交界处,会展中心站后改名为侨城东站),增设车公庙、竹子林、会展中心3座车站。2002年5月,国家计委同意深圳地铁一期1号线自侨城东站西延至世界之窗站,增设车站2座。
In May 2000, to save costs and improve the operational efficiency, the Shenzhen Municipal People’s Government agreed to extend Line 1 westward to Convention and Exhibition Center Station (the Convention and Exhibition Center was planned to be built at the junction of Qiaocheng Road East and Baishi Road, and the Convention and Exhibition Center station was later renamed Qiaocheng East Station), with three additional stations to be built, namely Chegongmiao, Zhuzilin and Convention and Exhibition Center stations. In May 2002, the State Planning Commission agreed to extend Line 1 westward from Qiaocheng East Station to Window of the World Station, with two additional stations to be built.
