Construction of the San Nicolás station on Mexico City’s Line 4 Cablebús is moving ahead with foundation work in the Pedregal de San Nicolás 4th Section neighborhood of the Tlalpan borough.

The city’s Secretariat of Works and Services said crews are installing the infrastructure needed to support the terminal. The current work focuses on drilling foundation piles and building grade beams, which provide stability for the station.

The project calls for 24 foundation piles. Five are currently being drilled with specialized machinery. Officials said these initial works will allow the station structure to rise later in the construction process.

“The Cablebús will transform the urban environment and make a new connection possible for communities in the south of the city,” the secretariat said.
