Mexico City Closes Southern Stretch of Metro Line 2 for Weekend Rehabilitation

Officials say the concentrated repairs aim to speed safety and infrastructure upgrades ahead of upcoming World Cup matches.

Overview

  • The STC took the San Antonio AbadTasqueña segment out of service starting at 8:00 p.m. on Saturday and will keep it closed through the start of operations on Monday, May 25.
  • Train service is limited to Pino SuárezCuatro Caminos in both directions while crews carry out intensive rehabilitation work on the southern surface section.
  • Red de Transporte de Pasajeros buses are providing free alternate surface service with stops placed at the exterior of each closed station to mirror the metro route.
  • Users reported crowding and longer waits at open stations as staff implemented access controls and the city warned riders to leave earlier and plan alternative routes.
  • Authorities link the concentrated weekend works to World Cup preparations and nearby surface projects such as Calzada de Tlalpan, and they say full service will resume with Monday operations.
