Shanghai A to B

There are now reports stemming from, in particular, the MetroFans community hinting at the opening of Exit 12 at the Century Avenue interchange, which is shared by Lines 2, 4 and 6 and will also be shared by Line 9 in late 2009.

Exit 12 brings direct access to the west side of Century Avenue (as in the avenue itself). You’ll be able to directly cross the avenue underground.

This exit is pretty close to the Line 9 bit of the station, so there’s, as always, the temptation to cross into Line 9. That bit, however, is reserved for later this year, when Phase II of Line 9 (Yishan Road — Middle Yanggao Road) opens up. Line 9 will the pass through two major interchanges — Xujiahui and Century Avenue.
