Mexico City Rules Out Structural Risk on Metro Line 12 After Inspection at Lomas Estrella

Officials say a visible gap at column LOE‑14 is a known construction joint under continuous monitoring.

Overview

  • City engineers inspected the elevated segment between Lomas Estrella and San Andrés Tomatlán and reported the beams are fully supported on column LOE‑14 with no operational risk.
  • Authorities said the separation has been documented since 2021 and has not changed, describing it as a construction joint with rainwater staining rather than a structural crack.
  • STC Metro, Semovi and Sobse stated that elevated structures receive permanent monitoring along with preventive and corrective maintenance.
  • Social media photos of the gap revived public concern tied to the 2021 Line 12 collapse, prompting on‑site reviews and renewed calls for transparency.
