Seoul Subway Line 9 is currently under construction.

Line 9 is planned to run east from Gimpo Airport (connecting to Line 5) along the south bank of the Han river. Major transfer points will be Line 2 at Dangsan, Line 5 at Yeouido, Line 1 at Noryangjin, Line 4 at Dongjak and Line 3 and Line 7 at Express Bus Terminal station.

Construction of the first phase between Gimpo Airport and Banpo began in April 2002 and is due to be completed in late 2008. Phase 2 will run from Banpo to Bangi-dong in the east. A Seoul Metropolitan Government website describes construction of phase 2 as being suspended in consideration of transport demand and financial situations.[1]

It will be a 3-track subway providing express service on separate tracks similar to New York. Stations will have elevators, escalators and platform screen doors.

There are plans to eventually extend subway line 9 north from Gimpo train depot and across the Han River to meet the Ilsan Line (extension of Line 3) at Goyang's Daegok Station until as early as 2008.[2]
