Bogota mayor presses Chinese-led consortium for more metro workers as auditors flag delays

Bogota Mayor Carlos Fernando Galan has formally requested that the Chinese-led consortium responsible for constructing the city's first metro line increase its workforce at construction sites. The demand follows a report from Colombia's top auditor, which identified significant delays across multiple sections of the infrastructure project.

The auditor’s findings suggest that these ongoing setbacks could jeopardize the project's scheduled completion date of March 2028. The mayor's intervention highlights growing administrative pressure on the consortium to accelerate progress and adhere to the established timeline for the capital's transit development.
