. It runs from Shanghai South Railway Station
in Xuhui District via Xinzhuang in Minhang District to Jinshan New Town in Jinshan District
, crossing Huangpu
River on a dedicated railway bridge. Passengers will be able to transfer to Lines 1, 3 and 5. The line is set to open in late 2011 with 9 stops.
