Mexico City's Metro Hidalgo station is undergoing significant aesthetic upgrades as it prepares to host matches for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Workers recently installed a large, prominent chandelier on one of the station's staircases, adding a touch of grandeur to the public transit hub.

This new lighting fixture is notably larger than the smaller chandeliers that were placed on the station's walls the previous week. The chandelier is situated on a staircase providing access to Line 2, heading towards Terminal Taxqueña. However, a similar fixture has not yet been installed on the staircase leading in the direction of Cuatro Caminos.

Workers placed a chandelier of larger proportions on one of the Metro Hidalgo station's staircases.

As commuters navigate the station, which is partially closed for ongoing renovation work including floor tiling, many are pausing to photograph the striking chandelier. Workers are actively engaged in various tasks, such as installing frames for the chandeliers, constructing walls, cutting floor tiles, and taking measurements to ensure the remaining light fixtures are properly placed. The rehabilitation efforts aim to enhance the station's appearance and functionality ahead of the international sporting event.

Some users of the Collective Transport Metro System who passed by the staircase... were taking photographs of the chandelier.
