Then it turns south into the North Outer Ring Expressway where it turns east-west running under the elevated expressway forming a three level structure similar to the northern section of Shanghai Metro Line 1.[3] After reaching Jiangbei Avenue, it starts to turn underground and deviates from the viaduct to Zhuangqiao Railway Station where it turns south, crosses Yaojiang River and reaches Ningbo Railway Station. Then Line 4 goes along Changchun Road, Xingning Road until it reaches Canghai Road and become north-south again.
