Ceará Opens Integrated Tender for Three New Linha Leste Metro Stations

Overview

• The Ceará government issued an integrated tender in May 2026 for the Sé, Luiza Távora, and Leonardo Mota underground stations on Fortaleza’s Linha Leste.
• The contract bundles final design, construction, equipment supply, and specialized services, with a 30‑month work window after construction begins.
• Bids will be awarded on lowest price and the total values stay confidential under Brazilian procurement rules.
• The state says Novo PAC and the federal budget (OGU) will fund the stations, and Seinfra says the added stops do not affect the 2028 target for the 7.3 km first phase linking Centro and Papicu.
• Seinfra reports overall construction at about 45% completion, and the reinstated stations have adjusted sites and access points to fit along the Centro–Avenida Santos Dumont corridor.
