History edit

Construction of the station began on July 16, 2007.[1][2] In 2008 the construction of the tunnels that replace the mixed pedestrian zone was carried out.[3]

As part of the construction of Lima Metro Line 2, the construction of a station of the same name for the metro's route is scheduled to join the Metropolitano's station, making it an intermodal station, the first of its kind in the city.[4][5] Construction works for the station will take place under the Paseo Colón.[6]
