State of Mexico Starts Construction of Mexicable Line III

The administration of State of Mexico Governor Delfina Gómez has launched the construction of Mexicable Line III, a transformative project aimed at improving mobility for over 700,000 residents in the highlands of Naucalpan. This initiative seeks to provide a modern, efficient, affordable, and comfortable public transportation system, connecting remote communities in the Valley of Mexico with the urban core.

Daniel Sibaja, Minister of Mobility of the State of Mexico, explains that the new line will extend 9.5km and feature 10 stations along a main trunk line. The line will originate at the ETRAM Cuatro Caminos and branch out into two routes: one toward Izcalli Chamapa and another toward Lomas del Cadete.

Since construction began on Oct. 16, several preliminary activities have been carried out, including the removal of street vendors from the Cuatro Caminos terminal, demarcation of work zones and demolition of curbs, soil mechanics studies and detection of underground infrastructure, such as high-voltage cables and pipelines, and clearing and preparation of sites for the stations.

Once completed, Mexicable Line III will reduce travel time from the neighborhoods of Izcalli Chamapa and Lomas del Cadete to the ETRAM Cuatro Caminos terminal to just 30 minutes, compared to the current one-hour journey. This improvement enhances connectivity and significantly improves the quality of life for residents by providing a secure and accessible mode of transport.

The main trunk line will include the following stations; Mexipuerto Cuatro Caminos, Lazaro Cardenas, El Molinito, San Antonio Zameyucan, Centenario and La Tolva. From the La Tolva station, passengers can choose between two routes: Izcalli Chamapa Route, which includes the Parque La Hormiga and Izcalli Chamapa stations, and the Lomas del Cadete Route, including the Benito Juarez and Lomas del Cadete stations.
