The line was expected to be completed in 2017.[4][5][6] Contract 930 for the construction of Ubi station and associated tunnels was awarded to SK Engineering & Construction Co.

Construction of the station and the tunnels was scheduled to commence in the second quarter of this year and was targeted to be completed in 2017.[7]
