Tasqueña Station on Metro Line 2 Closes South Platform for Maintenance Starting April 2

As part of the ongoing rehabilitation of Mexico City Metro Line 2 for the 2026 World Cup—first announced in February—changes at Tasqueña station began on April 2. The south platform is out of service for floor replacement, with the north platform handling all boarding and alighting. Closures or restrictions also affected Viaducto, Chabacano, and San Antonio Abad stations amid Holy Week scheduling.

Metro director Adrián Rubalcava announced that Transport and Security personnel would guide users at Tasqueña, urging patience for infrastructure improvements.

On April 2, Line 2 operated in two circuits: Tasqueña to Xola and Cuatro Caminos to Pino Suárez, with RTP buses bridging Xola to Pino Suárez. Viaducto and Chabacano were closed that day, while San Antonio Abad has been out since March.

On April 3, service resumed normally except at San Antonio Abad, with no RTP support needed. The broader Line 2 works continue across multiple stations to modernize aging infrastructure.
