CPTM trains of line 11-corail will not run between Corinthians-Itaquera and Tatuapé stations from this Monday (29) until January 7. The partial closure occurs for extension work on metro line 2-green.
As an alternative, passengers will be able to use the 3-red line of the metro, which will have free integrations open to the Corinthians-Itaquera and Tatuapé stations for the duration of commercial operation.
During this period, trains of line 11-coral will continue to run normally on the sections between Estudantes and Corinthians-Itaquera and between Tatuapé and Palmeiras-Barra Funda.
From December 29 to 31 and January 5 to 7 there will be an increase in passenger service with Operation Paese, which will have free buses during peak hours, connecting Tatuapé and Corinthians-Itaquera via Radial Leste.
The closure is necessary to allow the passage of the shield tunnel boring machine, known as Tatuzão, which will be responsible for digging the tunnels for the expansion of Line 2-Green.
The excavations begin in an area of sandy soil and near the route of line 11-coral, in the region of the future Penha station, which requires additional security measures. During this period, the railway section will be deactivated and the ground will be permanently monitored. After crossing the line 11-coral area, the tunnel boring machine will head towards the Soares Neiva ventilation shaft, before the future Aricanduva station.
