The simple station Calle 85 is part of the TransMilenio mass-transit system of Bogotá, Colombia, which opened in 2000.

Location

[edit]

The station is located in northern Bogotá, on Autopista Norte with Calle 85.[1]

It serves the Polo Club and Antiguo Country neighborhoods, as well as the shopping areas on Carrera 15 and the nearby Zona Rosa.

History

[edit]

After the opening of the Portal de Usme in early 2001, the Autopista Norte line was opened. This station was added as a northerly expansion of that line, which was completed with the opening of the Portal del Norte later that year.[2]

The station is named Calle 85 due to its proximity to that road.
