Century Avenue (simplified Chinese: 世纪大道; traditional Chinese: 世紀大道; pinyin: Shìjì Dàdào) is a major Shanghai Metro interchange station named after Century Avenue, which runs above the station.

[1] This station, first known as Dongfang Road station (东方路站),[2][3] is part of the initial section of Line 2 that opened from Zhongshan Park to Longyang Road that opened on 20 September 1999.

[4][5][6] Beginning on 22 October 2005,[3] the station closed for reconfiguration and improvements in preparation for the planned 4-line interchange with Lines 4, 6, and 9.
