Impact on mobility
The closure occurs in the middle of rush hour, which has generated large crowds at the stations, where the trains are returning. Users heading north are recommended to look for transportation alternatives such as integrated bus routes or public service buses that travel on the North Highway.
Emergency personnel and the Metro Police are already at the scene of the incident carrying out the corresponding protocols.
It is expected that the operation will be reestablished once the judicial authorities carry out the necessary work, a process that could take a couple of hours.
