The Collective Transportation System (STC) of Mexico City has reopened the Cuauhtémoc-Chapultepec stretch of Line 1 of the Metro, after a year and five months of modernization work. This modernization is part of a comprehensive mobility program that includes expansions and new connections in the capital's transportation network.
Meanwhile, the Juanacatlán, Tacubaya, and Observatorio stations remain closed, with an estimated completion date by the end of August or September. The works at the Observatorio terminal are more complex due to the union of the Interurban Train and Line 12 of the Metro.
President Claudia Sheinbaum and the head of the capital government, Clara Brugada, led the inauguration ceremony, highlighting that this comprehensive intervention involved the renewal of tunnels, tracks, electrical systems, and signaling, as well as the installation of more than 3,000 surveillance cameras.
With this reopening, the Line 1 service will operate from Pantitlán to Chapultepec, totaling 17 stations in operation. During the construction, the emergency RTP service will continue operating at the still-closed stations, adapting its routes to cover the pending stretch.
