San Marcos Station Enters Final Structural Phase at 95% Completion

Completion of core works brings Peru’s first university‑campus metro stop closer to serving 45,000 students.

Overview

  • The concessionaire says civil works at San Marcos station reached 95% completion in late May with architectural works at about 10% and the main slabs for the cover, vestibule and platform already finished.
  • Current on-site tasks include tiling and floor placement in the vestibule and platform levels plus construction of internal stairs as teams move from structure to visible finishes.
  • Transport authorities and the National University of San Marcos formalized coordination through an interinstitutional addendum to speed work and align campus integration with the project timetable.
  • Next steps are clear: complete architectural finishes, install electromechanical systems, run testing and commission the station for integration into Line 2 Stage 2, with officials projecting possible delivery toward late 2027.
  • Line 2 is a large underground link planned to connect Ate and Callao in about 45 minutes for roughly 2.5 million users and the San Marcos stop will directly shorten long daily commutes for the university community.
