Luminárias do século XIX são instaladas na estação de metrô Hidalgo antes da Copa do Mundo de 2026

A estação Hidalgo do Metrô da Cidade do México, na Linha 2, recebeu luminárias em estilo do século XIX como parte das reformas em andamento.

As luminárias fazem parte de uma modernização elétrica e de iluminação em várias estações da Linha 2, que vai de Cuatro Caminos a Tasqueña.

O diretor-geral do metrô, Adrián Rubalcava, disse que as obras visam deixar as estações reformadas prontas antes de 11 de junho, data da partida de abertura da Copa do Mundo de 2026 entre México e África do Sul no Estádio Banorte.

As mudanças incluem novos pisos, bordas de aço nos degraus, renovações nas paredes e sinalização em espanhol e inglês. Também foi realizada a manutenção dos trilhos e dos componentes elétricos para reduzir falhas no serviço.

A estação Bellas Artes contará com acabamentos semelhantes aos do saguão do Palacio de Bellas Artes, enquanto Tasqueña e Zócalo estão entre as outras estações incluídas no projeto.
