CDMX Metro Eases Disruptions as Overnight Oceanía Work Closes Circuito Interior

Line 12 service returned after an electrical review, with Line 3 modernization plans nearing announcement, an effort expected to last about a year.

Overview

  • Authorities scheduled the repositioning of a 24‑meter, 110‑ton trabe at Oceanía from 23:00 Saturday to 06:00 Sunday, closing Circuito Interior’s central lanes toward La Raza near AICM Terminal 1 with two high‑tonnage cranes on site.
  • The Metro said the Oceanía structure serves a linkage used for empty train movements, so passenger service will not be affected, and Line B is slated to start Sunday service normally at 07:00.
  • Line 12 suspended service between Atlalilco and Olivos for a preventive electrical review on Friday, prompting evacuations, before full operation was restored later that evening.
  • Following parade‑related closures and a Generation Z march, multiple central stations were temporarily shut this week, and the Zócalo/Tenochtitlan station remained closed on a temporary basis per Metro notices.
  • Officials reported that explosions and smoke at La Raza on Thursday were presumably tied to a fight in which devices were detonated, with Police Banking and Industrial personnel intervening, while the city also flagged an imminent Line 3 overhaul with an estimated one‑year closure and announced Metrobús maintenance closures from November 24 to December 5.
