Seville, Spain, June 20, 2025 – Vías y Construcciones, a subsidiary of the ACS Group, has begun construction on the third section of Seville Metro Line 3. The project is being carried out in a joint venture with Lantania (25%) and DSV Constructora y Ferroviaria (10%), and was awarded by the Regional Government of Andalusia with a budget of €143.3 million (excluding VAT) and a 46-month construction period.

The groundbreaking ceremony, held today, marks the start of a strategic infrastructure project for the development of Seville's metropolitan transport system. During this symbolic event, institutional representatives and members of the joint venture highlighted the importance of the new underground section, designed to improve urban mobility, strengthen the public transport network, and contribute to a more sustainable, efficient, and better-connected city.

Technical Description of the Project

The new section will run between Avenida Doctor Fedriani and the intersection of Calle San Juan de Ribera with Ronda Histórica, with a total length of 1,013 meters. The planned works include:

.

Construction of a double-track tunnel using the cut-and-cover method.

.

Construction of an underground station at the Virgen Macarena Hospital, designed as an interchange point with the future Line 4, using the same construction technique as the tunnel.

.

Excavation of a tunnel under the Virgen Macarena Hospital parking garage.

.

Installation of slab track for both directions along the entire section.

.

Execution of the necessary civil works for the future tunnel installations, including safety and electrification systems (installation of the installations is not included).

.

Relocation of affected utilities and urban redevelopment of the surrounding area. Initial activities include the installation of auxiliary equipment, the completion of geotechnical and utility studies, coordination with the Seville City Council for tree transplantation, and the development of technical design work.

This project reinforces Vías y Construcciones' experience in highly complex urban transport infrastructure and demonstrates its commitment to sustainable and integrated solutions for building a more efficient and accessible future.
