Infrastructure Development Through Metro Line Construction

The metro line will connect northern and southern districts, becoming the city’s second metro route. The northern section, comprising 12 stations, is being built in stages, with completion expected by 2030.

The total length of the route will be 8.9 km, including a 1.3 km branch leading to the depot. At Prado de San Sebastián station, passengers will be able to transfer to Metro Line 1.

The travel time between the terminal stations of the northern section will be 18 minutes. The expected annual passenger flow is estimated at 13.3 million people, ensuring convenient transportation.

The route will pass near four medical centers, improving access to urban transport. Meanwhile, the southern section’s project, also including 12 stations, is in the planning phase.

The Andalusian government has already invested over €500 million in the northern section’s development. This covers 63% of the planned route, ensuring the sustainable growth of the city’s transport system.
