Agencies Convene to Tackle Line A Flooding With Coordinated Plan

Officials pivot to planning that leverages Conagua’s Plan Integral de Oriente.

Overview

  • Interinstitutional working sessions at the Interior Ministry brought together STC Metro, federal and state authorities, Mexico City officials, the Los Reyes La Paz municipality and the IMSS.
  • STC director Adrián Rubalcava offered Metro’s technical studies to guide works that prevent service disruptions caused by seasonal flooding.
  • Rubalcava urged a structural rehabilitation of Line A that addresses train operations and protects neighboring communities exposed to recurrent runoff.
  • Participants agreed to strengthen rapid, coordinated responses among Conagua, the city’s water management agency, Civil Protection, the municipality and STC while major drainage and channelization projects are prepared.
  • Authorities reported that rainwater entering the track box has damaged electrical and electronic systems and forced service suspensions at Los Reyes and La Paz, which serve about 62,000 daily users.
