Increase public wellbeing through the implementation of a mass transportation system under a light rail scheme.
Development of the new light rail line connects the most populated neighbourhoods of Zapopán, Guadalajara and Tlaquepaque with a rail network length of 20.74km, 18 stations, 100,000 squared meters of workshops and garages, 15.44km of viaducts, 5.3km of tunnels along with new rolling stock, track systems, catenary, electromechanical facilities, power systems, railway signalling and telecommunications.
The project was designed to accommodate 223,960 passengers per day, reducing travel times to 33 minutes from an hour and a half. This will also reduce long term CO2 emissions by 25% on journeys that transition to light rail.
Along with helping to improve transport for the long term, the project was programmes to minimise the impact on traffic and the normal life of citizens during construction, thanks to innovative structural designs that have minimised both the impact on the surface and construction times.
Innovative technologies have also been applied to construction control, especially in underground sections. This was particularly important for a tunnel close to the Guadalajara Cathedral, a World Heritage Site. Operation of the tunnel boring machines was monitored and controlled, minimising settlements and the effects on adjacent buildings.
