A consortium led by Spanish contractor Acciona will take over the construction of São Paulo’s Metro Line 6 (also known as the "Orange Line"), which has been stagnant for the past four years. Metro Line 6 is 15 kilometers long and extends from the city center in the northwest of São Paulo to the main university district of São Paulo. When the entire line is put into operation in 2025, its 15 stations will have approximately 600,000 passengers per day.
After the completion of the project, Acciona will supervise the operation and maintenance of the line for 19 years.
The 2.3 billion euro project is being redistributed by the Move consortium consisting of Odebrecht TransPort, Queiroz Galvão and UTC, which won the contract for the project in 2013. However, since 2016, construction work on this production line has been stagnant.
The project is expected to create 9,000 jobs and is Acciona's largest infrastructure project and the largest public-private infrastructure project under development in Latin America.
Brazil’s Sao Paulo Governor Joao Doria said in a press release: “From the perspective of investment and direct and indirect work, this is the largest infrastructure project in Brazil and Latin America.
"The project is expected to be completed in 2025, and now we have no reason to doubt its continuity and compliance with deadlines. The metro team and the Acciona team have conducted extensive research on this in order to complete the task within the deadline. There are no more legal obstacles. There are neither administrative barriers nor institutional barriers, nor is there a lack of resources." Editor/Huang Lijun
