Acciona and Odebrecht to build second phase of Line 1 of Quito Metro

(12/11/2015) 

The contract includes the construction of a 22,072-metre-long tunnel, 13 new stations, carriage sheds and workshops, and the railway facilities required for commissioning. Equipment and system integration and commissioning will have to be coordinated between the contractor and the supplier of the rolling stock.

Quito’s first metro line will run from Quitumbe bus terminal in the south of the city to El Labrador station in the north, on the site of an old airport.

 

 

Construction is expected to take 36 months, with a further six months for systems integration and commissioning. This new metro line comprises the first component of a new public transport system for Quito. (See piece of news).
