Armando Brénez Moreno, president of Jalisco’s College of Civil Engineers, recently requested more federal funds to complete Guadalajara’s unfinished third Tren Ligero (subway) line.
New estimates reveal that an additional 400 million pesos will be necessary to expedite the process. So far, the project has exceeded 30 billion pesos – significantly more than the project’s original 17.5-billion-peso budget. With new state and federal administrations now in place, it is unclear whether the finish date of this summer will be achieved.
