  • Mexico City's Metro plans a 2026 Public Works Program with an estimated 232 million peso investment.
  • The program will focus on Line 12, including structural monitoring and maintenance of its elevated sections.
  • Work will also extend to elevated sections of Lines 4, 9, and B to assess their structural behavior.

Mexico City's Metro has unveiled its 2026 Annual Public Works Program, outlining a significant investment of approximately 232 million pesos aimed at maintaining and monitoring various sections of its network. The program places a particular emphasis on Line 12, which runs from Tlรกhuac to Mixcoac.

Key interventions for Line 12 include systematic maintenance of its elevated metallic structure, as well as instrumentation, study, and monitoring of its topographic and structural behavior from Tlรกhuac station to the Culhuacรกn-Atlalilco transition. This will involve specialized equipment for monitoring vibrations, displacements, and stresses, alongside inspections of the viaduct's reinforcement structure.

The program also extends to other elevated lines within the Metro system. Complementary instrumentation, monitoring, and evaluation of the elevated viaducts will be conducted on Line 4 (from Martรญn Carrera-Talismรกn to Santa Anita) and Line 9 (from the maneuver yard to the Velรณdromo-Mixiuhca transition). Similarly, the elevated section of Line B, from Deportivo Oceanรญa to San Lรกzaro, will undergo similar assessments.

These comprehensive works are detailed in the program published in the Official Gazette of Mexico City. The Metro aims to ensure the safety and integrity of its elevated structures through systematic maintenance, specialized monitoring, and structural assessments across multiple lines.

The Metro contemplates the supply and installation of specialized equipment, monitoring, and evaluation of behavior in selected sites of the elevated viaducts of Lines 4, 9, and B of the Collective Transport System.
