Des lampes du XIXe siècle installées à la station de métro Hidalgo en vue de la Coupe du monde 2026

La station de métro Hidalgo de la ligne 2 à Mexico a été équipée de lampes de style XIXe siècle dans le cadre des rénovations en cours.

Ces lampes font partie d'une modernisation du système électrique et de l'éclairage dans plusieurs stations de la ligne 2, qui relie Cuatro Caminos à Tasqueña. Le directeur général du métro, Adrián Rubalcava, a déclaré que les travaux visaient à ce que les stations rénovées soient prêtes avant le 11 juin, date du match d'ouverture de la Coupe du monde 2026 entre le Mexique et l'Afrique du Sud à l'Estadio Banorte. Les changements comprennent de nouveaux sols, des bords de marches en acier, la rénovation des murs ainsi qu'une signalétique en espagnol et en anglais. Des opérations de maintenance ont également été effectuées sur les rails et les composants électriques afin de réduire les pannes de service. La station Bellas Artes présentera des finitions similaires à celles du hall du Palacio de Bellas Artes, tandis que Tasqueña et Zócalo font partie des autres stations incluses dans le projet.
