Century Avenue (Shanghai Metro)
- Century Avenue (Shanghai Metro)
Century Avenue (zh-cp|c=世纪大道|p=Shìjì Dàdào) is the name of a Shanghai Metro station, named after nearby Century Avenue.
This station is part of Line 2, Line 4 and Line 6. The station will also connect with Line 9 when it is extended. Although the Line 9 mezzanine and platforms have already been constructed, they are not connected to anything and will not be accessible to passengers until 2009.
It closed in June 2006 to make way for construction of the interchange. It reopened on October 28, 2006 after a one year reconstruction to build a 4-line interchange. Before, it was known as "Dongfang Road" station. The name was changed according to the new convention to name metro stations after famous streets or sights in the vicinity rather than the vertical street neighbouring the station, making it easier for visitors to find these places.
