San Antonio Abad Station on Mexico City Metro Line 2 Reopens After Two-Month Closure
Mexico City, June 7 – After a two-month closure, the San Antonio Abad station on Line 2 of the Mexico City Metro (STC) has officially reopened to passengers. This reopening is part of the completion of works on the Tlalpan Floating Causeway, with the Mexico City government also restoring service along the blue line.
The San Antonio Abad stop had been closed since March 17 due to construction related to the Tlalpan floating garden, forcing commuters to adjust their routes. On the afternoon of Sunday, June 7, Adrián Rubalcava, Director General of the STC Metro, announced the resumption of service to users.
Through social media, authorities confirmed that the station is now allowing passengers to board and alight: “San Antonio Abad station on Line 2 of the @MetroCDMX has reopened. Train service is now available across the entire line, from Tasqueña to Cuatro Caminos, throughout the day,” they posted.
Adrián Rubalcava Suárez, Director General of the Metro, stated that the Metro CDMX works are beginning to “take shape” and thanked Mexico City residents for their patience.
Which Line 2 Metro CDMX Stations Remain Closed?
Despite trains now running in both directions (Cuatro Caminos – Tasqueña), several stations will remain closed, with no boarding or alighting permitted at the following stops:
- Chabacano
- Zócalo/Tenochtitlán
- Nativitas
- Portales
“Chabacano, Zócalo/Tenochtitlan, Nativitas, and Portales stations remain closed without passenger boarding or alighting. Please take precautions and stay informed of updates.”
Although the works in Tlalpan and San Antonio Abad have been delivered, Line 2 of the Metro CDMX is still undergoing remodeling, preventing trains from stopping at certain stations. As of now, authorities have not announced when the adjustments in the four remaining stations will be completed.
Weeks ago, Clara Brugada Molina, Head of Government of Mexico City, assured that all works related to the STC Metro and Tlalpan would be delivered between June 7 and 8. With the inauguration of the Floating Causeway, it is unknown when Line 2 of the Metro CDMX will operate normally; this route will be crucial during the 2026 World Cup as it is the most direct option to reach the Mexico City Stadium.
When Will the Works on Line 2 of the Metro CDMX Conclude?
The remodeling is progressing into its final stage ahead of the 2026 World Cup. Visible works on walls, floors, and access points are underway at 16 stations, while in corridors and platforms, users navigate around construction materials, restricted access, and cordoned-off areas.
Despite the progress, issues such as leaks, out-of-service escalators, and reduced spaces for passenger movement persist. Of the total budget, 1 billion pesos are allocated to integral maintenance and 500 million pesos to station remodeling.
Adrián Rubalcava has indicated that the intervention aims to improve the user experience and replicate architectural elements of the Palacio de Bellas Artes in some stations. Head of Government Clara Brugada assured that the line’s reinauguration would occur in the days leading up to the World Cup and committed to ensuring mobility for residents and international visitors. As of now, there is no exact date for the complete conclusion of works within Line 2.
These last three stations remain closed because they require structural interventions linked to the works of the Secretariat of Works and Services (Sobse) in the area, tasks that did not conclude within the original timeframe, according to official information.
It is worth remembering that service at Viaducto was previously restored, and its reopening modified the scheme applied since May 29, when the partial closure for the integral rehabilitation of Calzada de Tlalpan and general maintenance of Line 2 forced trains to operate in two separate sections and without a stop at that station.
