The regional government has signed a contract with Sando-Acciona that permits that construction partnership to restart work on the metro line connector outside El Corte Inglés in Malaga on Tuesday, 31 July.

The construction work is predicted to take 19 and a half months to complete and is funded by an investment of 27.69 million euros, pending the completion of investigations related to the discovery of the archaeological remains of a wall dating back to the Moorish era.

Tuesday will put an end to three years of inactivity, after works were halted in 2015 due to economic discrepancies between the previous construction company, Ortiz, and the regional government.

The stretch of metro will consist of 713m of tracks and a station, named Guadalmedina, which will be located in the Plaza Manuel Alcántara on Avenida Andalucía. The work is part of the city's larger metro project and is somewhat complex due to the fact that the delayed Guadalmedina station will house two separate lines.
