Hanshin Electric Railway will discontinue the current Line 3 and put the new Line 3 into service on May 27, following the progress of the Osaka-Umeda Station improvement work that has been underway since March 2015.
In conjunction with the opening of the new track 3, the platform doors on the new track 3, which have been installed as a measure to prevent accidents such as falls from the platform, will also be put into service. Part of this maintenance is being funded by the Railway Station Barrier-Free Fare System.
Improvements are expected to be completed in the spring of 2024.
