History

During planning in March 2019, the project name for this station was called Xiaoyingxilu station.^[7] On July 19, 2021, in the naming plan for the stations on the southern section of the Changping Line announced by the Beijing Municipal Commission of Planning and Natural Resources, the station name was adjusted to Zhufangbei station.^[8] In June 2022, the station was officially named Zhufangbei station.^[9]

On February 4, 2023, the southern extension of Changping line from Qinghe railway station to Xitucheng commenced operations, but the station's construction was not finished, so trains passed the station without stopping.^[2]

On May 8, 2024, the unit project passed the site acceptance.^[10][11] On September 25, the initial fire inspection failed. On November 26, the station passed the fire inspection.^[12] On December 15, the station commenced operations.^[3]
