The first phase of Line 8, running from Jintan Road station in Hankou to Liyuan station in Wuchang, was opened on 26 December 2017.

The second phase takes a north-south alignment in Wuchang from Liyuan station to Yezhihu station, is under construction and scheduled to be open in 2020.

The third phase, an extension lately added to previous Line 8 plans, runs from Yezhihu station to Military Athletes' Village station, intending to serve the athlete village and audiences of 2019 Military World Games.
