TL;DR
- China Harbour Engineering Company (CHEC) has proposed a private initiative for the extension of Bogotá's Metro Line 1.
- The project involves extending the elevated line by 3.25 kilometers to calle 106, adding three new stations.
- These stations will serve as transfer nodes, integrating the Metro with TransMilenio and the future Regiotram.
- The extension aims to decongest the 'nodo intermodal' at calle 72 con Caracas and improve regional connectivity.
- Estimated cost is 3.4 trillion pesos, with a total execution period of 29.5 years.
- The Metro de Bogotá is currently reviewing feasibility studies and has convened a public hearing for feedback.
