Santiago Metro network expansion

Overview

Santiago is undergoing significant expansion of its metro network through major infrastructure projects.

Metro de Santiago has entered preliminary stages for the development of Line 10. This project aims to modernize and extend the existing Line 4A by approximately 10 kilometers along the Américo Vespucio axis, potentially adding seven new stations to connect Maipú with other major lines.

Simultaneously, construction has commenced on Line 9, a 27-kilometer project involving 19 stations. Led by President Gabriel Boric, this investment seeks to connect central Santiago to southern communes, including La Pintana, for the first time. The project is expected to reduce travel times between central Santiago and Puente Alto by 28%.
