FCC completes construction of Line 2 of Panama Metro

(22/05/2019) 

 The project included design engineering, civil works, auxiliary facilities and stations, the supply and installation of all railway systems (including rolling stock), and the start-up of the line. In addition, a shed area has been built for parking and cleaning trains as well as maintenance workshops.

The infrastructure has been designed to transport more than 16,000 passengers per hour and direction, with a travel time between the ends of the line of 35 minutes. Its maximum capacity in the future will be 40,000 passengers at rush hour and it is fully accessible. The new stations have large covers and aluminum panels as well as polycarbonate skylights that allow energy savings thanks to the use of natural lighting.

FCC Construcción already executed line 1 of the Panama Metro, the first subway line in Central America, and now is developing the interconnection branch of line 2 to the Tocumen international airport.
