According to Shenzhen Metro Group, the base slab of Minzhi North Station — the first top-down constructed station on Line 22 Phase I, Work Section V — has been successfully completed. This marks the full completion of the main structure of the line's first top-down station, with shield tunneling now ready to proceed, further accelerating construction of Line 22.

Minzhi North Station is located at the intersection of Minzhi Avenue and Bulong Road in Longhua District. It forms a T-shaped interchange with the Shenzhen Airport–Dayawan Intercity Railway currently under construction, and serves as the dual launching point for four tunnel boring machines (TBMs) operating in both the Minzhi North–cut-and-cover section and the Minzhi North–Songhe Station running tunnels.

According to earlier announcements by Shenzhen Metro Group, Line 22 Phase I is scheduled to open in 2028. Upon completion, the line will establish a rapid transit network enabling a 45-minute journey between Guanlan and Futian, and a 60-minute reach to areas adjacent to Shenzhen's boundaries. It will effectively improve traffic conditions at the Meilin Pass, strengthen rail transit service capacity along the central passenger corridor, and significantly alleviate cross-district commuting pressure.
