An expansion project for the station was announced by the Xuzhou High-Speed Railway Investment Company in August 2017 to change the east square of the station into an "integrated passenger transportation hub". Groundbreaking on the project is expected to begin by the end of 2018.[1]
The expanded station will include 13 island platforms and 28 tracks, serving roughly 80,000 passengers per day. Total investment in the project is around 1.5 billion renminbi. It was completed on December 16, 2019 with the opening of the Xuzhou-Yancheng high-speed railway.[2]
