Izcalli Chamapa station of the L3 of the Mexicable is 90% ahead

The construction of the Izcalli Chamapa station on Line 3 of the Mexicable metro system has reached 90 percent completion, according to Rebeca Ortega Reyes, the project monitoring liaison for the State of Mexico's Mass Transit and Cable Car System (Sitramytem). Located in Naucalpan, the station is nearing its final stages with only elevator systems remaining to be completed. The structure includes finished interiors, roofing, façades, access urbanization, and flower beds, signaling a major milestone in the infrastructure project. Work on the station has progressed steadily over recent months, with visible signs of completion evident throughout the site. One wall features a mural depicting the landscape of Naucalpan, including homes built along slopes, mountains, vegetation, and a church. In the center of the artwork, several Mexicable train cars hover above the area, symbolizing the transportation network that will soon serve the community. Locals have been visiting the site regularly, expressing excitement and anticipation for the station’s opening. Residents near the station have voiced their eagerness for the project to become operational. Esperanza Ortega, a 62-year-old local resident, shared her thoughts during a visit to the site. Despite her fear of heights, she expressed intent to ride the system once it opens. “It looks beautiful,” she said. “I’m going to get on just to see how it feels.” Local expectations vary regarding the station’s anticipated opening date. Some residents believe operations could begin as early as December, while others expect the start of service in March of next year. Raúl, a high school student, described the current reliance on public minibuses as both inconvenient and unsafe. “We’re waiting because traveling in the combis is very uncomfortable and risky,” he said. His sentiment reflects the broader hope among locals for a safer and more efficient transit option. The Izcalli Chamapa station serves as one of two endpoints for Line 3 of the Mexicable. This extension aims to enhance connectivity within the region, offering residents a modern alternative to existing transport methods. As work continues on the final components, such as the elevator systems, officials remain focused on ensuring the station meets all safety and quality standards before its official launch. Construction efforts have drawn attention from both workers and visitors, who frequently tour the site to observe progress. The presence of the mural and the partially completed structure highlight the blend of functionality and aesthetic design intended for the station. Officials have emphasized the importance of completing the remaining tasks efficiently to meet projected timelines. The completion of the station marks a critical phase in the broader development of the Mexicable system. With continued progress on infrastructure projects, the region anticipates improved mobility and economic opportunities. Local authorities have maintained regular communication with the community to provide updates and address concerns related to the project’s impact and benefits. The station’s near-completion underscores the commitment to advancing public transportation in the State of Mexico. As the final elements come together, the focus shifts toward preparing for the transition into operational status. Residents continue to monitor developments closely, hopeful for the day when the new station becomes a vital part of daily life.
