Poza del Agua enters the plans to expand the Metro in Leganés
Leganés could have a Line 11 station at Poza del Agua. The Comunidad de Madrid has modified the contract by 689,000 euros to study the extension, which still has no final route or construction date.
The Comunidad de Madrid has added 689,000 euros to the contract to study the southern extension of Line 11. The analysis must consider alternative routes and possible connections with other lines, as well as prepare the environmental documentation.
Poza del Agua is the area being considered as the future terminal. When MetroSur was built, a reserve was left there that could be used for the extension, between Puerta del Sur y San Nicasio.
The change of plans comes after an unfavourable report from the Ministerio de Defensa. The initial project proposed a tunnel of about 2.2 kilometres between La Fortuna y Cuatro Vientos, on Line 10, but Defensa pointed out its impact on military land.
The 2027 regional budget includes starting the process for the extension towards Leganés. This forecast does not mean that construction will begin.
For now, the arrival of L11 at Poza del Agua remains at the technical study stage.
