They are stacked and intersected underneath existing buildings and run along Sec 2, Hangzhou South Rd. Construction on the five tunnels began on 15 September 2005 with the start of construction on the Red Line and was completed by 17 January 2009. Of the subway tunnels, the shallowest is the northbound Xinzhuang Line tunnel at 13.4 m deep, while the deepest is the Xinyi Line southbound tunnel at 25.3 m deep.
