Extension work on Guangzhou’s subway line 7 to bring it all the way to Shunde by 2016 is set to begin, Guangzhou Daily reported at the weekend.

A meeting Friday attended by Mayor Huang of Shunde concluded that an extension of subway line 7 was the best way to improve ease of travel between Shunde and areas of Guangzhou such as Panyu and Nansha. The project has already passed a feasibility study, according to the National Development and Reform Commission.

The line will stretch from Guangzhou South Railway Station to Beijiao Station in Shunde, but details such as exactly which route have yet to be finalised.

Boosting infrastructure spending is China’s strategy of exiting its economic slowdown, Bloomberg reported in January.
