To accelerate the construction of the Bogotá subway, the capital and national authorities met on March 15 to review the progress of the project. Local officials put forward the feasibility progress and requirements necessary to ensure that the second line of the Bogotá metro and Calle 13 trunks could be co-financed.
At the end of the meeting, no details were given about the meeting. The national authorities recalled that the joint financing of the two projects must comply with the requirements set out in Article 100 of the National Development Plan and the standards specified by the Ministry of Transportation.
Both the design of the second subway lines and the main lines must be supported by technical, environmental, legal and financial feasibility studies. Likewise, it has been pointed out that co-financing of these projects is also a function that allows access to the resources of countries and territories.
Despite this latest warning a few hours before the meeting, President Iván Duque assured that he would sign a fund for the city's second metro line before the end of his term in August this year.
It should be remembered that the government is already co-financed through several transport projects in Bogotá, such as resources exceeding 20 billion pesos, the first line of the subway and the food trunks. In addition, from a regional point of view, Transmillenio will be extended to Soacha and Regiotram in the West in the II and III phases.
The National Planning Department (DNP) has stated that these projects, especially the second line of the Bogotá metro and Calle 13 trunks, will be of great help to citizens. They point out that, in addition to expanding the transport system, it will bring benefits to the quality of life and local productivity.
DNP ensures that the second line of the Bogotá metro will benefit the 2.5 million inhabitants of the cities of Chapinero, Barrios Unidos, Engativa and Suva. It is a priority project in Bogotá where feasibility studies have been conducted, and the selected route starts with Calle 72 from Caracas Avenue and connects with the first line of the subway. From there, starting west along 72nd Street, starting from Avenida Ciudad de Cali to the northwest. Go to the corridor, reach AC 145 (future Suva Crossing Avenue) and end up in the yard of the workshop.
The trunk of Calle 13 includes a 11.4 km corridor that includes 13 Transmilenio stations, workshop sites and 6 intersections, which makes it a basic project as it helps to alleviate congestion in this corridor and improve regional connections. It will also benefit more than 1.7 million residents, and it is estimated that by 2030 this luggage compartment will accommodate 150,000 to 200,000 passengers on a typical working day.
Taking these variables into account, the government of the country checks if it is interested in implementing the project They guarantee that they will continue to monitor feasibility progress and technically accompany the development.
