Vespucio Norte is an underground metro station on the Line 2 of the Santiago Metro, in Santiago, Chile. It is the northern terminus of the Line 2 and provides 120 underground parking spaces.[1] The station was opened on 21 December 2006 as part of the extension of the line from Einstein.[1][2]
The station is located on the south side of the Vespucio Norte Express freeway, within the borders of Recoleta, as well as serving nearby Huechuraba indirectly.
Structure
[edit]The station has two side platforms and two tracks. At the center of the station a large mezzanine, without central support, spans over tracks and platforms, all of which are surmounted by a longitudinally curved ceiling.
A very long pavilion, which features an irregularly sawtooth shaped roof, houses the entrances to the station and is connected to a bus terminal.
