Floods have led to the temporary shutdown of the Potrero metro station once more.
In an unexpected turn of events, the Potrero station on Line 3 of the Metro was closed on Thursday afternoon due to heavy rainfall causing flooding conditions that affected safe operations. The closure was a precautionary measure to protect passengers and infrastructure from the impacts of severe weather.
The Metro System is currently working to remove accumulated water from the station as a safety measure for users. This work is being done in a passageway of the Metro station. The Potrero station closure is unrelated to the water removal work at the Pino Suárez station, where a short circuit caused an evacuation of a train and installations.
Elsewhere on Line 3, running from University to Indios Verdes, the stations are functioning normally. However, the Metro System is dealing with multiple disruptions on Line 3, including the closure at Pino Suárez.
It's important to note that the cause of the disruption at the Pino Suárez station is different from the heavy rainfall that caused the closure at the Potrero station. No further information is provided about the reopening of either the Potrero or Pino Suárez stations.
