Overview

  • The original Paiporta metro station was destroyed by the October 2024 DANA flood, requiring a complete rebuild due to irreparable damage.
  • Construction of the new station is progressing rapidly, utilizing prefabricated concrete, glass, and steel modules to expedite delivery.
  • The Generalitat Valenciana has allocated €5 million for the project, which will feature improved passenger flow, accessibility, and modern amenities such as a continuous bench and a 4-meter metal canopy for shade.
  • The station is scheduled to reopen on June 21, with provisional service planned if final construction is incomplete by that date, ensuring the restoration of a key transit hub for 1.5 million annual passengers.
  • This effort is part of a broader €125 million initiative to restore Valencia's metro network, which includes debris removal, station rebuilds, and infrastructure upgrades following the flood.
