History

Old planning

In 2006, Line 11 was originally designed as an L-shaped line from Wanliu to Dahongmen, which together with the L-shaped Line 10, form a subway ring route. After Line 10 Phase II took over the entire ring route, Line 11 was displaced.

In January 2010, the government of Shijingshan District disclosed plans for a Line 11 in western Beijing that would traverse the Shougang (Beijing Capital Steel) complex and intersect with Lines 4 and 16.

Phase 1

Construction started on November 13, 2019. The western section (Phase 1) of Line 11 (Moshikou station — Xinshougang station), also known as "Winter Olympic Branch Line", is 4.2 km (2.6 mi) in length with 4 stations. It is fully underground.

Jin'anqiao, Beixin'an and Xinshougang (Shougang Park) stations opened on December 31, 2021. Moshikou station opened on December 30, 2023.

Phase 2

According to the information released on January 11, 2022, Phase II of Line 11 to Lize Shangwuqu and Yangqiao is included in the "Beijing Rail Transit Phase III Construction Plan". In 8 July 2022, an EIA document regarding Phase III construction of Beijing rail transport system (2022–2027) confirmed that it will be 23.8 km (14.8 mi) long with 17 stations.
