The Temmabashi to Kiyomizu-Gojo section opened as dual track, electrified at 1,500 V DC, in 1910, and was extended to Sanjo in 1915. The Temmabashi to Yodoyabashi section opened in 1963.[citation needed]
The section from Temmabashi to Gamo Signal Box was quadruple-tracked and elevated in 1970. Quadruple-tracking and elevation was continued northwards, with the Doi to Neyagawa Signal Box section completed in 1982. In 1987, in Kyoto, the street-level section from Tōfukuji to Sanjo was replaced by a tunnel section, which was extended to the current terminus, Demachiyanagi, in 1989. Hirakatashi Station was elevated in 1993, Neyagawashi Station in 1999, and Yodo Station (along with the line section next to the new Yodo Depot) in 2011.
Works to elevate the remaining at-grade section between Neyagawashi Station and Hirakatashi Station, includingKōrien Station, Kozenji Station andHirakata-kōen Station, began in September 2022.[3] Preliminary works such as land acquisition had already been in progress since 2013.[3] The project aims to eliminate 21level crossings in the affected section, some of which are closed for up to 40 minutes per hour during the morning and afternoon rush hour. Work is expected to finish by 2027 with the transition of train services to the elevated tracks planned to be completed in 2028.[3]
