East Kangqiao station (Chinese: 康桥东站; pinyin: Kāng qiáo dōng zhàn) is an underground railway station on the Airport Link Line of the Shanghai Suburban Railway. It is located in Kangqiao, Pudong district, at the future intersection of Kangren Road and Ciqiao Road. The planning name of the station was Zhangjiang station (Chinese: 张江站; pinyin: Zhāng jiāng zhàn). The station opened with the first phase of the Airport Link Line on 27 December 2024, and is planned to become an interchange station with Line 21 of the Shanghai Metro.

Design

The station was initially planned as an elevated station, before it was changed to an underground station during feasibility studies for "planning reasons". The station has a total area of 49,453 square metres (532,310 sq ft), with a length of 691.20 metres (2,267.7 ft) and a width of 37.2 metres (122 ft). The station is located within the Shanghai Outer Ring Expressway Protected Green Space, surrounded by dense water works. It is located south of Zhangjiang Hi-Tech Park. The entrances and exits connects with leisure facilities in the green space outside the station, and are designed in the form of a semi-arched canopy in the shape of a water wave. The station interior is designed with blue as the main colour, which reflects the technological innovation within Zhangjiang. The Airport Link Line station will be connected to the metro station through an underpass, with fare gates to separate the two paid zones.

Operation

East Kangqiao station is equipped with arrival and departure lines and a single crossing line, and is able to accommodate passing and returning trains. During the preparations for the opening of the Airport Link Line, there was a proposal to operate a partial route from Hongqiao railway station to Zhangjiang in the early stage of operation; these plans were never followed through. According to calculations made in Song et al. (2024), if the airport link line operates with both express and local trains, the crossing point for the express trains towards both Hongqiao and Pudong Airport will be at East Kangqiao station.
