Support to the Bogotá Metro Line 2 Project

 According to project documents, the proposed project development objective (PDO) is “to improve readiness and start the implementation of the Bogotá Metro Line 2 Project.” Under this project, the Bank is supporting the construction of a 15.5 kilometer metro line, which will improve connectivity and access to services for residents in the northwest of Bogotá, and it is expected to be integrated with other transport systems in the city.. Line 2 is expected to support climate mitigation by facilitating a shift to public transport, utilizing both electric trains and electric energy, and promoting active transportation. The project will be co-financed with other MDBs, including the Banco de Desarrollo de América Latina (CAF), the European Investment Bank (EIB), the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), and the private sector.
