Jimenqiao Station is the transfer station of Metro Line 12 and Changping Line, which will be put into operation with the opening of the new line this year. This morning, the reporter saw at the construction site of Jimenqiao Station that the main structure of the station has been completed and the decoration work of the station has entered the final stage. Among them, the Changping Line station hall is themed with "Jimen Smoke Tree", one of the eight scenic spots in Yanjing. On the column in the center of the station hall, the metal carved leaf shape is integrated with the column decoration, which has a modern aesthetic feeling. In addition, the station is close to Beijing Film Studio, Central News and Records Film Studio and other units, so the decoration of Line 12 station highlights the theme of the film.

After Jimenqiao Station is put into use, citizens along Changping Line can directly reach the North Third Ring Road without transfer, further facilitating travel. At the same time, the transfer between two lines is also very convenient. The reporter noticed that the station halls of Line 12 and Changping Line are arranged in a "T" shape on the same floor, and there is no transfer channel. The shortest transfer distance between the two lines is only 20 meters. Passengers can avoid "mountain crossing" transfer in the future.

At present, the construction of the branch line of Line 1 has been commenced on January 18, and the construction bidding work of Line M101 Phase I is being promoted.
