History

In 2012, the government of Fengxian District announced in their annual report that the district is willing to take up the task of construction of Shanghai's first BRT line. Bidding for construction of different parts of the route started in 2013.

On 20 April 2019, on the 1st anniversary of the opening of the line, Jinhui station opened as an infill station along Puxing Highway, between Nanhanggang Road and Lunan Road stations.

As of 2021, there are plans to extend the Fengpu Express Line to Oriental Sports Center station, in order to relieve congestion on Line 8.
