  • El Salvador installed the seventh of 23 planned towers for the Aerocable urban transport project.
  • The first line will connect Mejicanos with Hospital Nacional Rosales in an estimated 15 minutes and include modern cabins with video surveillance.
  • The government expects the first phase to open during the first half of 2027, with additional lines planned for other areas.

Construction of El Salvador’s Aerocable moved forward Thursday with the installation of its seventh tower. The project includes 23 towers and four stations in Zacamil in Mejicanos, the University of El Salvador, Centro de Gobierno and San Salvador’s Historic Center.

The Ministry of Public Works is carrying out the project according to the established schedule. The government says the mass-transit system will allow thousands of people in the San Salvador metropolitan area to travel more quickly and comfortably, including during periods of heavy traffic.

The first line is expected to connect the Mejicanos district with Hospital Nacional Rosales in about 15 minutes. Its cabins will feature modern technology and video surveillance.

The government expects the first phase to finish and begin operating during the first half of 2027. It estimates that the remaining pieces needed to complete all 23 towers will arrive this month. Other planned lines would serve Soyapango, Planes de Renderos toward Panchimalco and El Boquerón.
