Partial closures on Mexico City Metro Line B this weekend

Mexico City's Metro announced partial closures on Line B for maintenance work on Saturday, January 10, and Sunday, January 11, 2026. Service will operate in only two segments, with key stations closed and alternative transport provided. The works aim to enhance infrastructure for the line's 401,000 daily passengers.

The Collective Transport System (STC) Metro announced partial closures on Line B due to preventive and corrective maintenance work, as well as improvements to the elevated section, this weekend. Service will be limited to the segments from Ciudad Azteca to Villa de Aragón and from Buenavista to Morelos on Saturday, January 10, and Sunday, January 11, 2026.

The stations that will remain closed are San Lázaro, Flores Magón, Romero Rubio, Oceanía, Deportivo Oceanía, and Bosque de Aragón. To ease mobility, alternative service with Red de Transporte de Pasajeros (RTP) units will run from Morelos to Villa de Aragón. This will operate on Saturday from 6:00 to 24:00 and on Sunday from 7:00 to 24:00. Normal service on Line B, from Ciudad Azteca to Buenavista, will resume on Monday, January 12.

The works involve pouring four beams to increase rigidity in the track box, in the Oceanía-Romero Rubio and Romero Rubio-Flores Magón sections. Additionally, 125 obsolete wooden sleepers will be replaced with synthetic elements in the 11A/21 track setup, between Oceanía and Deportivo Oceanía. These actions are part of the ongoing improvement program for the elevated section and track system, led by STC head Adrián Rubalcava, following instructions from Mexico City Government Head Clara Brugada.

The Metro director requested user understanding, noting that these interventions will optimize service for the approximately 401,000 daily passengers on the line. Users are advised to plan their trips in advance.
