Madrid's Metro Line 7B to Fully Reopen Saturday at 6 a.m.

Regional officials say independent studies and continuous monitoring confirm the line's stability.

Overview

  • Service will resume across the entire stretch between Barrio del Puerto and Hospital del Henares at 06:00 on November 22 after years of disruption.
  • The rehabilitation included stabilizing 20,600 square meters of ground, structurally repairing 5,575 meters of tunnels and injecting roughly 13,000 tonnes of mortar.
  • Five independent reports back the condition of the infrastructure and monitoring has detected no ground movement since February 2023, with the tunnel now fully impermeabilized.
  • The regional government reports a total investment of €171.2 million, with the restored corridor expected to serve about 120,000 daily passengers.
  • Authorities have paid €11.8 million to 83 claimants from a €24 million compensation pot, while affected residents say many cases remain unresolved and some have not received technical reports, with the assistance office extended to 2027 and a 12,000 m² park due in 2026.
